T.F. Green ending valet at Garage B, dropping parking price

WARWICK -- T.F. Green Airport is ending valet service at Garage B and halving the price for parking at the covered lot.

The move follows the expiration, at midnight tomorrow, of a contract with The Parking Company, the longtime operator of the complex. The Chicago-based Standard Parking Corp. is the new parking operator for all parking facilities at the state's main airport.

Parking at the 750-space parking complex will now cost $17 per day, about half the price under The Parking Company.

Under the previous arrangement, about 50 to 100 travelers used the garage every day, according to the Rhode Island Airport Corporation. It is now expected to fill up, corporation spokeswoman Patti Goldstein said.

“It was being underutilized,” Goldstein said.
