Performing Arts Center Makes Plea for Downtown Parking Deck

There may be no bigger infrastructure issue in Morristown than parking, and the folks at Mayo Performing Arts Center want to change that.

According to morristowngreen.com, MAYO Pac, the downtown staple that has helped commerce thrive, is making a push for a current parking lot in town to go vertical and add a parking deck.

In a letter to the Morristown Council, Mayo PAC’s CEO Allison Larena outlined the organization’s thoughts on converting municipal parking lot 10 into a parking deck, the report said. Parking Lot 10 is located about a block from the theatre behind the post office.

Town planner Phil Abramson said the town’s zoning master plan indicates Lot 10 as a potential site for structured parking, according to the report, but mentioned a deck above the existing lot would likely come with additional development.
