LIBERTY, NY — Howard Braunstein, the owner of the M&M Auto Group in Liberty, assembled his staff to the Ford showroom on February 6 to receive a plaque from the automaker to commemorate 25 years in business with the car maker. Wendy Daley, a market representation manager for Ford, presented the plaque.

Braunstein said that with the coming of the casino about 10 miles away in the Town of Thompson he expects M&M Auto Group to expand a bit.

He said, “We currently have 40 employees, but we anticipate, with what is coming in the near future, we will see that rise to 45 to 50 by the end of this year. A casino is coming; there’s a lot of construction, and a lot of people coming to the area, so we fully anticipate room for growth.”
