The Foundry Place Garage opens on October 31, 2018.

The Foundry Place Garage has cheaper hourly and monthly rates than the Hanover Garage: $1.00 per hour (all day free parking on Sundays for Portsmouth Residents); Monthly passes are $100 for residents, $125 for non-residents.

No. If interested, you can apply to transfer your monthly parking pass to the Foundry Place Garage by contacting the Parking Clerk’s office. For a resident monthly parker considering a move from Hanover to Foundry Place, the Foundry rates represent a savings of $900 annually for both resident and non-resident users. The Parking Clerk’s Office is creating a list of Hanover monthly parkers who are interested in switching to Foundry Place upon opening. If interested, pass holders must contact the Parking Clerk’s office in person or by telephone at 603-610-7229 to have your name and contact information added.

If you are interested in obtaining a monthly parking pass at the new garage, please do the following at your earliest convenience:

Current Hanover pass holders and new customers should contact the Parking Clerk’s office at City Hall in person or by telephone at 603-610-7229 to put down a deposit of the first month’s payment to secure your pass.

• Card deposits will transfer from Hanover to the Foundry
• Payments made for parking at Hanover will be applied to your new Foundry account

Interested parties can also secure a Foundry account by stopping by the Parking Attendant Booth at the Hanover Parking Garage. You will need to provide contact information and a check deposit to secure your space. 

Take your ticket with you when you park. There will be pay stations located in the elevator bay (cash and credit cards accepted) and in the west stairwell near Rock Street (credit card only). Patrons will pay at the paystation upon returning to the garage, and prior to retrieving their vehicle. Once payment is made, patrons will retrieve their vehicle and proceed to the exit station, insert their paid ticket, and the gate will allow exit. There is also the ability to pay at the exit stations (credit card only).

​​​​​​​The EZPark system does not communicate with garage control systems, and so EZPark cannot be used to pay for parking at the Foundry Garage. The City is looking to provide a city-wide mobile payment solution in the future.

​​​​​​​Yes, there will be six charging stations at Foundry Garage; four plugs on the first level and two plugs on the second level.

The Foundry Place Garage, in accordance with chapter 1, Article XVII. Section 1.1702 Percent for arts, includes $150,000 in the project budget to solicit artists for artwork to be included as part of the project. The Foundry Place Project Planning Committee received six proposals as finalists for the Percent for Art public art at the new Garage. These proposals represented a wide range of conceptual ideas, materials, and uses for the space inside and outside of the new garage. Two projects were chosen, the "Etched Glass Concept" and the "Hammer Concept," detailed here. These projects will continue to be installed after the opening of the garage, and will be celebrated at a later date.
