Beginning Sept. 10, visitors to city offices who park in the Annex Garage, the Transit Center Garage, the Courthouse Garage or the Victorian Square Garage will receive a 50 percent discount on parking rates, said Gary Means, executive director of the Lexington Parking Authority.
Currently, visitors to city offices who park in the garages receive a validation stamp that allows them to exit the garages free of charge. The Parking Authority, a public-private organization, estimates it validates $100,000 in free parking a year.
