The Retail Validation Program:
A Reduced Rate Employee Parking Option for Your Staff
| | |
As construction progresses, we're working to maximize on-street parking for customers and visitors. To help, we encourage employees to use alternative parking options, including the Town Center Parking Garage, which offers reduced rates for retail and restaurant employees working in the Center.
The Town Center Garage rates are far lower than other options! The rates are $4.50 for up to an 8.5-hour shift and $7 for anything over 8.5 hours.
For more information, contact Kristen Gorski, Economic Development Manager, at kristen.gorski@westhartfordct.gov.
