The Borough of Kennett Square has started a one year pilot program (August 2022) providing a 20% discount in parking rates, in the parking garage, for residents, business owners and employees of State Street, between Willow Street and Center Street. This has been put into motion to encourage utilization of our safe, beautiful Borough Parking Garage, located at 100 E. Linden Street, and provide parking relief for State Street. Stop in today to purchase your garage permit at a discounted rate if you are located in the previously stated areas on State Street. The current garage permit pricing is $75 for a monthly permit and $800 for the annual permit. For all those who fall within the proposed discounted area the discounted rate will be adjusted to $60 per monthly permit and $640 per annual permit.

Unfortunately, all of the longterm street/parking lot permit parking is in use currently. There are no permits available for purchase at this time.
