Parking garage fate to be decided next week

City council expects to make a final decision next week on the future of the Centre City project’s parking garage.

Mayor Tom Donaldson said at Thursday night’s council meeting that the city will host a special meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday at city hall to review and discuss financing for a parking garage that would be part of the Centre City project.

That project includes a hotel and a Rite Aid store.

The meeting will be with council, the parking authority, and the redevelopment authority. Representatives from J.S. Capitol Construction, the developer of the project, also will be there.

“I expect we will make a decision Tuesday night, and that decision will shape the Centre City project,” Donaldson said.

The parking authority on Wednesday rescinded a motion it made last month to accept a surface lot proposal for the hotel.

Now city officials are looking at how to pay for a parking garage.
