You should become better informed before showing your ignorance. The downtown pays more in taxes per square foot than anywhere else in the city of Wilmington. The parking shortfall is exactly the reason a positive marketing initiative will bring more people locally to shop, eat and explore which will reduce the deficit without raising parking rates. If you were in business yourself you would understand the concept. You should be proud of the downtown area if you live here.

Lastly the money is in an enterprise parking fund as a budget line item every year that can only be used for parking related initiatives.
