Parking to change at Whitfield County Courthouse

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF) – Within the next few weeks, residents will see a difference in the available parking at the public entrance of the Whitfield County Courthouse on Selvidge Street.

Some of the parking spaces will be converted into “30 Minutes Parking Only” parking spaces following agreements between the Dalton City Council and the Whitfield County Board of Commissioners that aim to provide better service to the public who visit the courthouse each day.

Converting these parking spaces into short-term parking will allow better access for those who only need to be at the courthouse a short time (for example, renewing or purchasing a vehicle tag.)

“We hope this will also assist our elderly citizens who find it difficult parking a longer distance from the courthouse,” said Capt. Steven Fields, Court Services Division, Whitfield County Sheriff’s Office. “No present handicap parking spaces will be changed.”

The short-term parking spaces will be identified by markings painted on the pavement of each parking space designated as “30 Minute Parking Only.” The spaces that will change are three spaces north of the entrance and four spaces south of the entrance.
