Benton Harbor City Commission approves parking fees for downtown lots near marijuana retailers to fund maintenance.

Benton Harbor City Commissioners have approved parking fees for some downtown lots, particularly near two marijuana retailers, to fund maintenance. They will purchase two touchscreen kiosks for $16,770, with annual terminal costs starting at $960. Commissioner Ethel Clark-Griffin opposed the plan, citing concerns about its potential negative impact on local businesses and existing parking difficulties. Currently, parking fees apply only at Jean Klock Park.
