The Commonwealth of Kentucky demolished the Capital Plaza infrastructure that included the Capital Plaza Tower, Frankfort Civic Center, Fountain Place Shoppes, and parking structures. A new state office building (Mayo-Underwood Building) has been constructed with an adjoining parking structure on what has been termed Parcel A (former tower and parking garage location). Parcel B (former civic center and shops location) was sold by the state to a private owner. There is a planned major redevelopment for Parcel B (see Section XVII for the project location and redevelopment vision for Parcel B). When the state sold Parcel B, one condition of that transaction was that a parking garage with 300 spaces would be constructed adjacent to the Capital Plaza Hotel within 24 months of the Design/Build Team (DBT) receiving a Notice to Proceed.
