Alternate Downtown Parking Site Considered by City
Mayor Raymond Shepard said an appraiser is preparing a report on a downtown parking site under consideration for a garage. The city has an informal purchase agreement with the land owner, price not disclosed, with a report due next week. The E Washington Street lot remains a possibility, though recent plans focus less on it. An architect estimated the garage could cost 900000, higher than the hoped 600000 construction price.
