friendly PARKING reminder

 

A friendly reminder with customer satisfaction in mind and recognizing the limited parking available in Downtown, we respectfully ask business owners and their employees to refrain from parking on the main streets. If you require long-term parking (all day parking) the BOCC is a great location to park for free.
