Oneida County Parking Lot Project Begins

Construction is underway on a new parking lot at the Oneida County Office Building on Park Avenue in Utica.

The project aims to alleviate downtown parking concerns in and around the County Office Building site.  The new parking project will cost $2.8 million and create an additional 178 parking spots.

County Executive Anthony Picente said “With an increase in the number of people coming downtown including State and County employees or people doing business with the State, County or Court System parking has been a concern. We saw this opportunity to make this campus and downtown more parking friendly and so we have made an investment to do just that.”

The project is expected to be completed by July of next year.
