Commissioners amend parking lease start date as county prepares to close garage for repairs
Summary
The Blair County Board of Commissioners approved an amendment moving the start date of a four-space parking lease at 208 Union St., Hollidaysburg, to July 1, 2025, as the county expects to close its parking garage for about five to six months for repairs.
The Blair County Board of Commissioners on May 15 approved an amendment to the lease of four parking spaces at 208 Union Street in Hollidaysburg, moving the contract’s start date from April 1, 2025, to July 1, 2025, as the county prepares to close its parking garage for an estimated five to six months for repairs.
During the agenda item, the presiding commissioner said the county faces “significant issues with our parking garage,” and staff are working to find alternative parking for county employees to reduce inconvenience and the burden on Hollidaysburg Borough.
Why it matters: the temporary closure will affect county staff parking patterns and potentially increase demand on public and municipal parking in Hollidaysburg during repairs.
