As Connecticut towns look to improve parking for local businesses, CMSC suggests parking can be more than just a revenue stream. Managed parking involves separate rates for different lengths of stay, encouraging higher turnover of short-term parking, and ultimately more customers for local businesses. This kind of structured parking can transform the parking issue from one of convenience to one of economic strength.
