A project years in the making, the City of Georgetown broke ground on its first public city parking garage on March 26. The garage is being built at 502 South Main Street, about a block north of the Square and next door to the Tamiro Plaza residential and retail development.

The current proposal of 52 feet would meet the bottom of the courthouse balustrade, as marked here. To the far right is Tamiro Plaza, which stands at 44 feet as a reference.
