Meter-Free Parking Available During AU Spring Break

Auburn, Ala. – The City of Auburn would like to remind citizens to ShopAuburn this spring and keep your sales tax dollars local. Meter-free parking will be available downtown March 16 – 20. Citizens are invited to shop downtown and take advantage of the new metered spaces available on the first floor of the Auburn Municipal Parking Deck, located off Tichenor Avenue between College Street and Gay Street.

Auburn’s sales tax revenue supports Auburn City Schools; provides for infrastructure improvements such as the Samford Avenue Extension; supports public services such as police and fire protection; provides for the maintenance and paving of roads; and helps sponsor community events such as the Annual Easter Egg Hunt, Auburn CityFest, and Bike Bash.
