Facility Overview
The 104 Maynard Street Parking facility is a conveniently situated open-air surface parking lot located on the Maynard Street corridor in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Strategically positioned just off Interstate 180 and immediately adjacent to the main campus of the Pennsylvania College of Technology (Penn College), this facility provides hassle-free vehicle staging for both local visitors and travelers.
