After a few months of talks, Carsten’s Motor Company on Walker Street has officially been sold to Bayer Auto Group out of Comanche. The dealership will now be called Bayer Chevrolet Buick Inc.

General Manager Zach Smith said he has been in the Eastland market for almost two years now, so setting up a partnership with Chas Bayer and Lucy Larose seemed to fit and make sense, calling it a “no-brainer.”

“We know it’s going to be a long process,” Smith said. “Luckily the Bayer group has done a lot of the work behind the scenes to ease into this.”

A third meeting will be held regarding the rezoning of Wheeler and Elliot Street to allow for townhouses, due to an ineligible vote casted in the prior meeting. The new meeting will be held Thursday, Dec. 13.

After two tumultuous meetings for the city of Breckenridge’s Planning and Zoning Commission, where several from the public and the city showed to argue for or against a townhouse development project, the commission will hold its third one before it goes to the city in January.
