The City of Grove City has been working with Pizzuti Companies on the design, physical improvements and implementation of the Town Center Plan since 2012. The most recent element was prepared in coordination with Braun & Steidl Architects to plan for and accommodate the parking needs within Town Center. It should be noted that there have been multiple iterations, all of which have been based on the principles of the 2008 Town Center Plan, as well as the schematics of the streetscape improvements associated with the 1987 Trott & Bean Architects plan.

As part of previous redevelopment efforts, a parking study was conducted by Desman and Associates in 2009, looking at inventory of public and private spaces.
The City Administration participated in a Town Center Parking Forum, hosted by Grove City Town Center, Inc. At this meeting the City presented the information to help further the discussions surrounding the potential acquisition of land to accommodate future public parking facilities.
