Public Meeting On Bowling Green's Parking Garage Wrap Funding

Lisa Autry

The city of Bowling Green is inching closer towards a deal regarding the future of the commercial wrap of the downtown parking garage.  More than $2 million in liens have been filed against Mills Family Realty, the owners of Hitcents Park Plaza, for unpaid construction costs. 

Meeting in special session Monday, city commissioners approved the concept of an agreement that would shift responsibility for the project from the city to the county.  The proposed deal would allow the county to negotiate an agreement with Mills Family Realty, contractors who claim they are owed money, and a new developer for the project. 

Talks have been underway for the owners of the Bowling Green Ballpark to take over development and operations of the wrap.
