New Subaru dealership in Fort Walton Beach to be ‘State-of-the-Art’ and generate 49 full-time jobs

Construction on the project is set to be completed on October 1, 2020 and is expected to generate 49 full-time jobs.

Step One Automotive Group is wrapping up construction on their newest Subaru dealership in Fort Walton Beach and will be eco-friendly, according to a press release.

Construction on the project is set to be completed on October 1, 2020 and is expected to generate 49 full-time jobs.

The building was constructed with energy and water saving fixtures, including occupancy sensors, LED lighting and programmable thermostats as well as low flow fixtures, a water efficient car wash, and non-potable sources for landscaping.

Step One Automotive Group has also installed several “green” procedures into their day-to-day operations including recycle programs and the newly established “Green Team”. This team is comprised of Step One employees who work together on a monthly basis to try and maximize all opportunities to keep Subaru Fort Walton Beach “green”.

Outside of the dealership, Step One is also working with several local community organizations that each focus on environmental preservation and sustainability, including the E.O. Wilson Biophilia Center and South Walton Artificial Reef Association (SWARA).
