Construction To Start on First New Downtown Cumming Parking Deck

Construction on the first of two new parking facilities to be built in downtown Cumming is scheduled to begin next week, according to a Forsyth County Government press release. 

Construction of the second parking facility, which will be located near the County Administration Building, is expected to begin in the spring.

The parking facilities are part of the $100 million project to build a new courthouse and jail, to be funded by the voter-approved Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax VII program. 

The first parking facility to be built will be located at the intersection of Castleberry Road and Maple Street.  

When site preparation and construction of the Castleberry parking facility begins Tuesday, Oct. 15, the number of available parking spaces in the lot on that site will be reduced. Weekday, daytime public parking spaces are available at several locations near the County Administration Building. 

See the map above, or click here, to find parking spaces, which are in the designated lots marked with a red dot.
