AUBURN â City government is looking to add parking spaces in downtown Auburn, Mayor Mike Ley said Thursday.
The Board of Public Works and Safety hired Complete Appraisals Services of Bluffton to conduct âappraisals on real estate the city is looking at purchasing,â Ley said.
âSeveral of the parcels weâre looking at would be resolving off-street parking use,â Ley said after the board meeting.
The mayor did not disclose the locations of the properties. He said their owners have shown interest in selling. The city could not pay more than the prices established by the appraisals.
Among the pressures on city parking, a new, three-story headquarters of Credent Wealth Management is scheduled to open in eight months on the courthouse square.
