THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Effingham’s plan calls for beginning planning for a parking garage downtown, including a potential facility on Washington Avenue. Community input shows support for parking garages to address growing demand, but no design, site finalization, or funding package is in place. Architects, parking consultants, engineers, and financiers can engage on concept design, demand studies, cost estimates, and public communication to advance the project toward a formal CIP and future construction contracts.
Map in the plan highlights Washington Ave as a parking garage option; still in conceptual phase.
