Parking Garage Sought for Chestnut Street Site
A multi level garage on Chestnut Street bordering Fayette and Forest would convert city off street parking including the old Pontiac garage. It would hold about 400 cars with a net 320 new spaces after deducting current parking. First floor commercial space would offset costs and be leased to a developer who would supply building systems. If leasing fails the area reverts to parking. A bus terminal with restrooms and waiting area is proposed on the first floor. The plan also suggests sidewalk widening and other downtown improvements funded through a multi level garage project.
