CINCINNATI — A new parking garage opening in Over-the-Rhine will house over 500 vehicles in an effort to alleviate parking woes during special events around the Findlay Market area.
Hamilton County Commissioners and other officials involved in the project held a ribbon cutting for the parking garage Tuesday morning.
Located off Central Parkway between Logan and Elder Streets, the 515-parking space structure will serve OTR near Findlay Market. It's six levels tall and also offers 15,000 square feet of retail space available on its ground level.
"For the OTR and the Findlay Market shoppers this is an important milestone,” said Commission President Alicia Reece. “Thank you to all the hardworking people who are making this project possible. This is another way to connect OTR and small businesses to the community."

Commissioners hope the garage "will help ease some of the parking challenges residents, businesses, visitors and FC Cincinnati fans face in the booming Over-the-Rhine and Findlay Market area," reads a press release announcing the ribbon cutting event.
The $31 million garage was paid for through surplus parking revenue and a $2 million state capitol grant awarded by the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission.
The structure is named Findlay Garage; the garage officially opens to the public — and their vehicles — on Wednesday, when it will offer daily and monthly parking passes.
