JC council considers new parking garage near Capitol

Do you think a new Jefferson City parking garage is worth $13 million? The City Council is discussing putting in a new garage downtown.

City leaders say the money would come from the parking fund. But Councilman Ron Fitzwater was asked if private dollars would be a better funding stream.

“That is one option: do we privatize it?” said Fitzwater. “If there’s such a demand, a business is going to jump in there.”

City officials would like to start building the four-story garage near the Capitol by next year.
