Agenda Item Request
title
Approval to increase parking rates at the Cumberland County Parking Garage effective January 1, 2027.
body
Background and Purpose of Request
Due to rising operational costs to operate the Parking Garage effectively, the County has tried to limit the amount it charges for parking. Most recently in 2024 we increased rates after doing a City-wide audit of all Parking Garages, as well as open lots that charge patrons for Parking. At that time we made a “market” adjustment to be more in line with surrounding garages without major financial impacts.
After conducting a recent audit, the operational costs continue to rise and our rates are below our neighboring garages. We seek to increase our rates for monthly, daily, and seasonal patrons. This change will go into effect starting January 1st, 2027.
