If you have business at a government building in Floyd County, you will want to be aware of new parking time limits that went in place as of January 1st.

Under the ordinance, all parking in front of certain county-owned buildings — including the Forum River Center, Joint Law Enforcement Center and Floyd County Judicial Center — will be turned into one-hour parking spaces.

Signs have already been posted in front of the spaces at the buildings, and Floyd County police will enforce the regulation using vehicle license plate readers.

Before the ordinance was approved by Floyd County Commissioners back in November, they mentioned how many people have been taking advantage of the parking lots and spaces since the parking manager stepped down from the position last year.

With the new ordinance, county officials hope it will speed up the turnover of those spaces.
