Renovations on central city parking lot have begun

Published 12:00 am Tuesday, December 1, 2009

The city of Salisbury announced Tuesday that renovations are under way at the central city parking lot, located in the 100 block of East Innes Street in Downtown Salisbury.
Located behind Bernhardt’s Hardware and adjacent to George’s Restaurant, the paved parking area will undergo a complete renovation. For safety and expediency, the lot will remain closed for about four or five weeks during construction.
Two-hour free parking is available along Innes Street and Main Street.
All-day free parking is available in a portion of the lot behind the Chamber of Commerce Building, entrance via the 100 block of North Lee Street, and in the lot behind the Eastern Gateway Park, 100 block of North Depot Street.
The city has leased spaces in the lot at 100 S. Lee Street for merchants and their employees during the renovation process.
The businesses that surround the lot will remain open and operational during normal business hours during the parking lot transformation.
