County Plans To Build Parking Garage

Item: Parking proposal: Commissioners seek to build 7-story, $7.8 million structure on Northwest Boulevard /Alecia Warren, Coeur d’Alene Press

More Info: The Kootenai County commissioners hope to construct a nearly $8 million, 7-story parking garage on Northwest Boulevard, and the officials are asking the city of Coeur d’Alene and the Lake City Development Corp. to jump on the project to share cost and use. “This is going to happen fairly soon,” said Commissioner Jai Nelson on Monday afternoon, at a meeting between the commissioners and city and LCDC officials. “If we can work out a relationship benefiting several parties, it could maybe happen sooner.”

Question: Is this a good project for LCDC money?
