Additional public parking near the Forsyth County Administration Building in downtown Cumming is now available. A surface parking lot on the east side of the Administration Building re-opened for use earlier this week, after a temporary closure to allow for improvements and reconfiguration. The lot, which is off of Mason Street and accessible from Main Street, offers spaces for handicapped parking and one-hour public parking.
Also completed are improvements to Mason Street, which motorists can now use to access the new five-level, 491-space Mason Street Parking Facility. This entrance to the parking facility is in addition to the one located off of School Street which has served as the deck’s entrance since it opened in December. Handicapped van accessible spaces are located on the ground level of the Mason Street Parking Facility and can be accessed only from the Mason Street entrance.
Another new parking deck in downtown Cumming, the three-level, 222-space Castleberry Parking Facility at the intersection of Castleberry Road and Maple Street, opened for use over the summer.
A map illustrating the parking areas is available at www.forsythco.com.
The parking improvements are part of the new courthouse and jail project funded by the voter-approved Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) VII program. The courthouse and jail are slated to open later this year.
