Proposed Leesburg, Virginia, Auto Dealerships Gain Initial Endorsement

Brown Automotive Group, Ltd.

Serving the needs of automotive customers throughout the Mid-Atlantic, William E. Schuiling owns and chairs the Brown Automotive Group, Ltd. William E. Schuiling’s dealerships encompass a full range of automaker-affiliated identities, including Mazda, Nissan, Subaru, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen.

Brown’s Car Stores achieved a milestone in December, 2016, with the unanimous endorsement by a Leesburg, Virginia, planning commission panel of its expansion plan. The proposal involves the creation of a pair of auto dealerships in the East Market Street corridor of the historic Loudon County community.

The proposal, which will proceed to the city council for approval, involves business rezoning of a piece of land to include the two dealerships, which will face each other. On the north side of Russell Branch Parkway, the business will be situated between an existing Cobb movie theater and Lowe’s site, while on the south side of the parkway, it will be located next to municipal public works and utilities buildings and a townhouse development. The Brown’s Car Stores proposal includes assisting in the creation of a segment of the Tuscarora Creek pedestrian/bike trail, which runs along an extensive adjacent floodplain that is not proposed for development.
