City officials and community members celebrated the garage’s opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The details
The $23.11 million garage has four stories, features a parking guidance system that connects with the city website to show available parking online and is free for the public. Some city offices are also included in the garage, such as the Downtown and Tourism Department.
Two art installations adorn the building—a mural by artist Arcy on the north side of the garage and a 14-foot longhorn sculpture at the office entrance.
What they’re saying
“This is the community’s garage, not City Council’s, not staff's ... the entire community has their fingerprints on this garage,” Georgetown Mayor Josh Schroeder said at the event Nov. 21.
Schroeder also noted that this garage is the first of “several” planned in the downtown area.
