Clarksville, TN – In the second week of May, the City of Clarksville will launch site preparation for the construction of the downtown Parking Garage which is both planned and funded by the City.

The new City Parking Garage site is at First Street and Commerce Street adjacent to the existing Cumberland Parking Garage.

Along with the beginning of this key project that will be an anchor of downtown redevelopment, some existing parking areas in the path of this construction work will need to be closed.

With the opening of F&M Bank Arena, plus a planned Performing Arts Center at the site of the Roxy which is another City project in the works, and the continuing overall downtown growth trend, the need for additional parking in downtown is being addressed by the City.

This new Parking Garage will offer 587 parking spaces.

The contractor is to be TRC Construction Services of Brentwood, Tennessee.
