The city of Ocala is hosting two public meetings to discuss a series of upcoming road closures due to construction in downtown Ocala for the city’s second parking garage.

On Friday, the city will host the first of two scheduled public meetings to discuss the construction projects in downtown. The meeting will be held at 12 p.m. at the Marion Cultural Alliance (23 SW Broadway St).

The second meeting will be held on Monday, September 23, at 5:30 p.m. at the same location.

Both meetings will present the same information and are free and open to the public.

According to City Manager Pete Lee, the construction includes sitework for Parking Garage Two, which will be located at 55 SW 3rd Avenue in downtown.

That work is scheduled to begin October 1.
