The Wells Fargo Parking Garage in downtown is no longer free due to new ownership, a Keck Parking official told the Register on Sept. 12.

The eight-story garage was available to drivers for free after 5 p.m. during the week and on weekends. The parking garage at 800 Mulberry St. was one of many pieces of Wells Fargo's dwindling downtown footprint.
