Alternate Library Parking
The Downtown Concord water tank will undergo maintenance Sept. 9-Dec. 20, including painting the exterior and sterilizing the interior. The tank will be tented during the sand blasting and painting process to protect surrounding properties. Temporary detours and vehicle access restrictions will affect Concord library branch visitors starting September 9. During this time the majority of the parking lot behind the library will be closed, as well as Cabarrus Ave Parking Deck rear entrance. All motorists wishing to access the parking deck should enter from and exit to Cabarrus Avenue W (across from City Hall). Find out more on alternate parking info and how the water tank has served us for over 80 years at concordnc.gov.
