YUCCA - Chrysler LLC officially announced its purchase of the Arizona Proving Ground testing facility Friday.
Chrysler, Arizona and Mohave County officials were on hand Friday to dedicate the takeover of the test facility about 25 miles southwest of Kingman. Chrysler Vice President Byron Kearney cut a ceremonial ribbon at the 3,840-acre test site, which has 50 miles of test roads and 109,000 square feet of building space.
Chrysler recently bought the facility for $34.9 million, taking the facility over from Ford Motor Company. Chrysler will also make another $10 million in upgrades, including a new 70-foot-high test grade along with other new test surfaces. The test facility is expected to open in the second quarter of 2008. The facility will eventually be a 24-hour-a-day, seven-day a week facility.
