Parking

Special arrangements have been made with the City of Norfolk to provide convenient, low cost parking for attendees of the PRSA professional development conference. The West Plume Street Garage is directly across the street from Nauticus. Drivers will receive a machine-generated parking ticket upon entry to the garage. Upon exiting, simply write "PRSA" on the back of the ticket and pay a $5 fee. There is no re-entry once the garage is exited and lost tickets will require full payment of the maximum daily fee ($14). Visit the City of Norfolk's parking web site for directions and a map.
