Sudbury Select Board approves four Herb Chambers dealership license transfers to Asbury

SUDBURY -- June 10, 2025, Sudbury Select Board approves Herb Chambers-to-Asbury dealership license transfers 5-0. The board unanimously transferred Class 1 licenses for BMW of Sudbury, Jaguar and Land Rover of Sudbury, and Mercedes-Benz of Sudbury from Herb Chambers to Asbury Automotive Group, a publicly traded chain operating 152 dealerships across 14 states. Attorney Joshua Fox told the board outstanding items, a final wiring inspection at Mercedes, wetland-encroaching irrigation at 105 Boston Post Road, and cut native plantings discovered the day before, are being resolved, with Asbury pledging "zero tolerance" on parking violations. Separately, Finance Director Victor Garofalo disclosed the new Fairbank Community Center is running about $100,000 over its utility budget, with electric costs jumping from $23,000 in FY24 to a projected $127,000 in FY25. Member Daniel Carty, the sole vote against adopting the Housing Production Plan targeting 174 additional affordable units, said the plan lacks a time-bound goal.
