Northwest Herald | Woodstock business to lease street parking

At Tuesday’s meeting, Harding withdrew a petition to tear down a neighboring house for a parking lot. Council members, at a meeting earlier this month, were less than thrilled with razing the more than 100-year-old house.

The council settled on offering Harding on-street parking, but it wasn’t without some trepidation.

“I have some problems with dedicated parking spaces,” Mayor Brian Sager said. “But I’m willing to consider it if the petition is off the table relative to demolishing the house.”

The ordinance that city staff will draft will include a lease agreement with Harding for eight spaces. Rent for the parking will be “reasonable.”
