Facility Overview

The Garan Lot is a spacious, open-air surface parking area situated at 60 Government Avenue in Eupora, Mississippi. Historically developed in connection with the former Garan manufacturing site in Webster County, this paved and graded lot serves municipal visitors, local workers, and community attendees. Because it operates as an outdoor surface lot without overhead barriers, low-hanging ceilings, or parking deck ramps, it offers unlimited vertical clearance. This makes the facility exceptionally well-suited for a broad range of vehicles, accommodating standard sedans, compact crossovers, lifted pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, commercial service vans, and utility trailers with equal ease.
