West Whitner Parking Garage

The construction of the 250 space garage and 11,000 square-feet of retail space, which began in early 2008, has been completed. The parking garage structure has certainly changed the landscape of downtown and is a major development in furthering our downtown revitalization efforts.

Parking is currently free all of the time.
