Dave Rector, general manager of the Evansville Building Authority, said the Building Authority’s board is to consider buying a parking lot at the northwest corner of King Boulevard and Vine Street when it meets at 2:30 p.m. Monday in Room 317 of the Civic Center.
The lot contains 120 spaces and would be made into a multi-level parking garage.
Rector said he and others are still devising a plan to govern how the lot will be used. In all likelihood, the spaces there will be open to the public and government employees during the day and reserved for patrons of the arena and Victory at the time of events.
The parking lot is owned by Hulman & Company, a Terre Haute firm that makes Clabber Girl baking powder and owns the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The plan is to offer $441,000 for the lot, an amount arrived at by taking the average of two independent appraisals.
