City Commission Meeting, February 19, 2008
Update: Future Civic Parking in the Little Five Points Area
Nov. 19, 2007, The City Commission gave their approval for the City Manager to negotiate with both the Woman's Exchange organization and Michael Saunders for the purchase of one of two sites to meet future parking needs in the Little Five Points area.
Nov. 5 2007, The City Commission voted 5-0 to negotiate the purchase of Michael Saunder's property on the corner of Orange and Laurel for any future parking needs the Little Fve Points area has. We will hope The Woman's Exchange Organization will reconsider selling and remain the anchor retailer for the Little Five Points area of downtown.
