After closing the Williamson County parking garage more than a year ago due to structural instability, the county is moving forward with designing repairs for the facility and hopes to reopen it in about one year.
On Feb. 14, Williamson County commissioners approved a contract with structural engineering firm Jose I. Guerra Inc. for $294,978 to design repairs for the parking garage, which is located between Third, Fourth and Rock streets in Georgetown.
Robert Daigh, senior director of infrastructure for Williamson County, said design should take about three months, and then the project will be put out to bid. Construction is expected to take nine months.
"So in approximately a year, we hope the garage will be open to the public, and they will have a very safe garage to operate in," Daigh said.
