“I’m not sure a lot of people know they can park in the Germantown Home parking lot after 4:30 p.m.,” said BID director Hollie Malamud-Price.
Located on Carpenter Lane just behind the fire station, home employees use the parking lot during the day, but after 4:30 p.m., it’s free and open to everyone.

“We have a lot of parking problems in the 6700 and 6800 block of Germantown Ave.,” Malamud-Price said. “There are a lot of businesses that don’t have a high amount of turnover and there are no meters or signs.”
Malamud-Price added, “This just gives people visiting the Avenue another option.”
