The free parking is part of an effort to encourage Salem residents to “Shop Local First” this holiday season, according to Driscoll.
“These are some of the busiest shopping days of the year,” said Driscoll in her announcement. “Hopefully, by taking this step we can help inspire more Salem residents to come downtown and discover all the great retail shopping opportunities available at our independent businesses and shops.”
