My bad. It's not just $2,000,000 for a parking garage.
It's $2,000,000 dollars for a State of the Art parking garage. Which is waaaaaay different.
And if you haven't been witness to the advances in parking garage technology and design over the past few years then you are in for a real treat.
So powerful are these State of the Art design techniques that as far as the sheer power of an empty parking space to draw Midlanders downtown the roughly 75 spaces that will be made available for use by non-Basic Energy employees are really kind of overkill.
Care must be taken, though. I have heard stories of a parking garage in Minneapolis that was so well designed that it turned out to have no economic impact whatsoever because, while it was always full, people never actually left their cars instead choosing to remain in the garage just to experience it.
I can only imagine what might happen if they were to combine this with, say, a state of the art interactive fountain.
And dare I hope that there will be state of the art curb cuts and crosswalk paint?

Anyone know where the exact placement of this garage will be?
The parking garage will be located where the "Belt Buckle Building" used to stand.
The problem with high-tech parking garages like this, in my experience, is you run the real risk that it will become self-aware and start to wage a violent struggle against humankind.
