Parking at the PDC now comes with a price
Thursday, January 19, 2023 by Elizabeth Pagano
Beginning in February, entry points to the Permitting and Development Center will be gated and garage rates will be enforced. As is the case at City Hall, these fees will not apply to people attending public events and meetings or members of the media, and parking validation can be found at the building’s security desk or in the meeting. For everyone else, payment will be required for parking more than 30 minutes, at $5 for the first hour, up to $35, based on garage rates established by the city. The rates will be in effect 24 hours a day.
