Increased intensity and development within the past few years has presented an opportunity for a smaller garage to meet the mid-term needs. The current location is designed for 210 spaces, 4 levels and 3 stories and will serve the 9 block square. The $5 million budget would be ½ funded by dedicated TIRZ revenues. Creation of the Steering Committee May 14, 2019 City Council appointed a 8 member steering committee to lead the public outreach and review the design of the exterior of the parking garage.
