If all goes well, city officials are hoping to break ground on a sorely needed, multilevel municipal parking garage downtown sometime this spring. The delay in announcing the developer selected for the garage project mostly is due to staffing challenges in the office of Economic and Community Development, as well as behind-the-scenes activity, including negotiations, design plans and paperwork, he added. “We are very engaged with the developer. We are very pleased with the way these conversations have been going for the past couple months,” Florsheim explained. The hope is to create 600 more spaces, a number of which will be reserved for tenants of several new apartment projects, the mayor explained. Adequate spaces for new residents to leave their cars overnight downtown will become all the more important when other Main Street housing projects are completed over the next few years.
