Overview: Performing major maintenance on the Wallace Parking Deck is necessary to extend the useful life of the facility and continue to provide a safe environment for patrons to park.

Over this summer, staff will work with Kimley-Horn (Town's Engineering Consultant for this project) to develop plans and an estimated cost for the repairs.
