The City of Roswell officially broke ground today on a major project set to reshape access to Downtown Roswell: the Downtown Parking Deck. The highly anticipated facility is designed to ease traffic congestion, support local businesses, and enhance the visitor experience in one of the city’s most popular and vibrant corridors.
At a ceremony held Thursday, August 7, at 1054 Alpharetta Street, Mayor Kurt Wilson, City Councilmembers, City leadership, residents, business owners, and representatives from Winter Construction and Jacobs Engineering gathered to celebrate the start of construction.
“This is more than just a parking deck—it’s a promise to our residents and businesses,” said Mayor Wilson. “It’s about smart infrastructure, thoughtful design, and a commitment to ensuring Downtown Roswell remains a thriving, accessible destination.”
Made Possible by Voters, Designed for the Future
The project is part of the $179.6 million Bond Program overwhelmingly approved by voters in 2022, with $20 million allocated for the construction of a parking deck to serve the downtown area.
The design includes 395 parking spots across 3.5 levels, two entrances, three exits, and a connector road to help ease traffic flow between Alpharetta Street and Green Street. Additional features include a state-of-the-art technology package, enhanced lighting and security, and architectural elements that blend seamlessly into Roswell’s historic and modern downtown aesthetics.
