 The [[Capitol Place plan]] involved a failed effort to create an underground plaza and [[City Parking Authority]] parking ramp with space for 1,200-1,800 cars at the corner of Main Street and Capitol Avenue in downtown Little Rock. The plan was originally endorsed by the [[Urban Progress Association]] on January 7, 1966, and authored by [[Noland Blass Jr.]] The Capitol Place Project Committee was chaired by [[Louis Rosen]].
-Capitol Place was expected to be anchored by [[Union National Bank]], [[Worthen Bank and Trust]], and [[Franke's]] cafeteria. Total project cost to exceed $20 million with federal funding for several new buildings and the $5-$8 million parking garage. The project was compared at the time to a similar plaza-parking structure in Hartford, Connecticut, which one committee member called the "showplace of the East." Groundbreaking on the Capitol Place project was to have taken place on July 1, 1967, but disputes erupted over the use of [[Little Rock Waterworks]] surplus funds to back the venture and opposition from other parking lot operators. Union National Bank then withdrew from the project. The plan was put to rest on August 30, 1967.
