“This is a project more than 10 years in the making, and we couldn’t be more excited to see it come to fruition,” said Springfield City Manager Bryan Heck. “The parking garage is just one facet of the overall progress and growth in our downtown as we continue to make our city an even better place to work, live and play.”
The $7 million project was a collaborative effort among the city of Springfield, Clark County, state of Ohio, Clark State Community College and Community Improvement Corporation.
Construction began in July 2019. The facility includes 305 parking spaces and more than 3,000 square feet of first-floor retail space that faces existing storefronts on Fountain Avenue. Dugan and Meyers, based in Columbus, built the structure.
