DeMaria Announces Suspension of Parking Meters Until 2023
Mayor Carlo DeMaria and the Office of the Parking Clerk are pleased to announce the suspension of parking meter fees for a period during the holiday season. From Thursday, December 1st to Tuesday, January 3rd, all parking meters in the City will be free of charge. The Mayor encourages everyone to consider Everett’s businesses and restaurants first when choosing holiday destinations.
“Small businesses help to drive our economy, and I hope that providing free parking in our community, people will shop local,” said Mayor DeMaria. “We all know that each dollar you spend at a small independent business returns three times more money to a local economy than one spent at a chain or 50 times more than buying online. That generates a lasting impact in our local economy. I wish you all a Happy Holiday season and don’t forget to shop local!”
