Downtown business owners push Alachua County to share courthouse garage after hours

A five-story parking garage with more than 500 spaces is under construction adjacent to the Alachua County courthouse and is roughly 18 months from completion. Local business owners have asked county commissioners to allow public use of the facility on evenings and weekends, arguing that limited downtown parking — including two-hour caps — discourages visitors to the area.
