Branch Newsletter Market Street Garage Update

From this
to this

Anyone familiar with the Roanoke City Market is familiar with the Market Street Parking Garage. Located at the intersection of Church and Market, the garage was stark and uninviting prompting many shoppers to park elsewhere or worse, not visit the market. Structural problems and the need for additional parking prompted the city to embark on renovating the structure. With its makeover almost complete, the Market Street Parking Garage will enhance the market district with a design more in keeping with surrounding architecture. Designed by Walter Robbs Callahan & Pierce Architects of Winston-Salem, NC, the project is on schedule to be completed in March 2010. HICAPS is providing the scheduling services.
