- L-shaped lot adjoins a smaller parking lot located to the rear of the former McDonald’s restaurant in the 400 block of State Street that the EDDC purchased in October
- Owning the two adjacent pieces of land will allow the EDDC to build a parking garage on the center of the property with space for between 350 and 400 cars
- Parking garage will be hidden from view by a multi-story, mixed-use building that will wrap around the garage and provide space for businesses and 35 to 40 apartments
