A $82M project with parking, commercial space and apartments will take its place. It will be the end of an era when the nearly 50-year-old Pogue’s garage is demolished. Starting Saturday at 7 a.m., construction crews will begin the six-month-long complex process of razing the parking structure that fills an entire downtown block along Fourth Street between Elm and Race Streets.
