STATE STREET LOT
OPERATED BY IGH HOLDINGS
Sarasota, FL: Effective Thurs., May 1, 2008
the entire State Street public parking lot will be controlled
and operated by IGH Holdings, LLC. All 139 public parking
spaces will be reserved either for those people who purchase
a Pineapple Square parking permit or for those who wish
to pay for valet parking. (Valet parking is available to
the general public. The valet station is located at the
corner of State Street and Lemon Avenue.) New signs explaining
the changes are being manufactured and soon will be displayed
at the State Street lot.
Based upon action by the City Commission on May 15, 2006,
IGH Holdings, LLC was granted the exclusive use of the
State Street parking lot once it received a certificate
of occupancy for a new business at the corner of State
Street and Lemon Avenue. The Hyde Park Steakhouse received
its certificate of occupancy from the City of Sarasota
Fri., March 14, 2008. Negotiations between the City’s
Parking Division and IGH Holdings, LLC resulted in half
the State Street parking lot remaining open to the general
public and downtown employee permit holders until May 1,
2008. The changes to the State Street parking lot are in
anticipation that IGH Holdings, LLC will construct a multi-level
parking garage with 350 public parking spaces as part of
the Pineapple Square development.
The State Street lot will remain open and free to the
public during the Farmers Market 6am – 2pm on Saturdays.
Please note: The First Street parking lot
is now reserved for valet parking after 6pm every evening.
New signs explaining
this change soon will be displayed at the lot.
