YOUNGSTOWN — Greenwood Chevrolet in Austintown and the Greenwood Foundation donated a new Chevrolet Bolt to Youngstown State University today — and made a $100,000 donation to the Excellence Training Center.
Greg Greenwood, owner of Greenwood Chevrolet, said the collaboration will offer opportunities to YSU students and bolster the electric car industry in the Mahoning Valley.
Of thousands of cars sold at his dealership each year, only a handful of them are electric cars, he said. Working with YSU, there will be more visibility for people to see electric cars on the road., Greenwood said.
