Huntington Notebook: Chamber to Host Update on Parking Study

Chamber to Host Update on Parking Study

The Huntington Chamber of Commerce will host a presntation on the status of the Huntington Village Parking Study on Tuesday morning at Huntington Yacht Club.

The Chamber of Commerce, the Town of Huntington Economic Development Corporation, the Huntington Business Development District, and the Paramount Theater commissioned a study last summer to gather public opinion on the parking situation in downtown Huntington.

Each agency, and the Town of Huntington, will pay $7,906 of the $39,530 feasibility study costs to Nelson Nygaard Consulting Associates, of New York, N.Y., which specializes in parking management and planning.

The entities have all agreed that significantly more parking is required to meet growing demand, according to Town officials. One of the options discussed has been the possible construction of a parking garage in Huntington village.

The presentation will be held the Chamber's mothly breakfast networking event from 7:30 to 10 a.m. $25 for members, $35 for non-members. You can participate in a parking survey conducted by the chamber here.
