Is the Library building a multi-million dollar parking structure?
No. While parking availability around the Central Library is a concern, there is no project or funding in place. In a previous County Capital Budget process, the Library requested funding to evaluate parking options and subsequently construct a solution recommended by the evaluation study. That study was not funded. The Library has expressed interest in collaborating with the County and Erie Community College should an expansion of the downtown college campus move forward. That planning effort is still in its early stages, however, and no formal role for the Library has been established.
