Owned by the state government of Alaska, it provides 844 parking spaces for state employees, plus 40 spaces for visitors.{{Citation needed|reason=Area, parking spaces, ownership...all of these are verifiable.

The garage was built to replace parking spaces in downtown which were displaced by the construction of the Dena'ina Civic and Convention Center.{{Citation needed|reason=Displacement?

Construction of the garage began on February 1, 2007 and it opened on September 8, 2008.^[1] Tenants on the first floor are Northrim Bank, who have been inaugural tenants of the facility, and the Alaska Division of Motor Vehicles, who opened their downtown Anchorage office in the facility on November 9, 2010.

Name

The garage is named after Carolyn "Linny" Pacillo (September 2, 1959 - November 17, 2006).{{Citation needed|date=August 2017}} Her family operated Courtney's Tudor Service on East Tudor Road, which was one of the very last remaining independent gas stations in Anchorage.{{Citation needed|date=August 2017}} The Pacillo family sold the station in 2003{{Citation needed|date=August 2017}}, which has since gone out of business{{Citation needed|date=August 2017}}. Linny Pacillo, along with her sister Susan, became pop heroes in Anchorage (and later elsewhere) by donning tutus and plugging parking meters downtown to protest strict parking enforcement{{Citation needed|date=August 2017}}. They were dubbed The Parking Fairies{{Citation needed|date=August 2017}}. State Senator Johnny Ellis, a Democrat whose district includes downtown Anchorage, sponsored the bill naming the garage for Pacillo{{Citation needed|date=August 2017}}. The Anchorage Assembly approved the name in February 2007{{Citation needed|reason=How about a link to the Artist's Statement or a published description of the work?|date=August 2017}}.
