Baltimore County shoppers get free holiday parking
Posted: 11/23/2012
TOWSON, Md. (WMAR) - Baltimore County is beginning to make the season bright with the gift of free parking.
County Executive Kevin Kamenetz announced that shoppers will get two free hours of parking during the Thanksgiving weekend, November 22-25, and December 20-25.
The free parking spaces can be identified by finding meters with red bags on them.
The bags will read "free parking", and can be found anywhere from Catonsville to Dundalk.
"Every one of these free parking spaces is near great locally owned shops and restaurants," said Kamenetz.
The county is hoping that the free parking will encourage shoppers to patronize local businesses.
"You'll find unique gifts and services while doing your part to keep the neighborhood economy going strong," Kamenetz stated.
