GREEN BAY (NBC 26) — The Adams Street Parking Lot in downtown Green Bay is closing permanently.

Green Bay’s public works department said in a press release that the parking lot will close permanently starting Friday, Nov. 22. Then crews will remove pay stations, lights and other infrastructure. The last day drivers will be able to park in the parking area will be Thursday, November 21.

Public Works says the closure is related to approved building construction in the parking lot area. NBC 26 previously reported: Work will begin on a new 8-storey, 268-unit high-rise apartment complex by the end of the year. The new complex will also have retail space.

Public Works says once the parking lot is closed, drivers will need to find another place to park downtown, such as an on-street parking meter or a parking ramp.

Public Works says the Adams Street Parking Lot was built around 1980, when the Port Plaza Shopping Center was expanded to include a department store directly attached to the lot.

“The facility has been one of the most popular public parking facilities downtown,” public works said in a statement. The statement was included.
