Due to the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic, and to encourage downtown shopping, Northampton had temporarily suspended parking fees starting on July 1.

The fees are set to resume on Aug. 3, Mayor David Narkewicz said Monday, July 27.

“It’s time to restart the system,” Narkewicz said.

Parking enforcement officers have been enforcing all other non-fee related parking restrictions such as handicap parking and no parking zones.
