Saline On Social Media: Hotel Project To Recommence, Fundraising Hubbub, Salt Springs Brewery Plans Cover for Patio, Woodland Students Donate to SASS

Here's what we saw on Saline's social media pages Wednesday.

Saline Hotel Project Set to Recommence

Mayor Brian Marl took to Facebook to announce that he met with the new owner of the stalled hotel project, along with the general contractor and trades people. Bacall Group LLC has rebranded the hotel as a Hampton Inn By Hilton.

Construction will begin March 13. Marl said the hotel should open in late summer or early fall.

Chick-Fil-A Fundraiser Canceled

Saline Area Schools is asking the community to suggest new ways to fundraise after a Saline Music Boosters Fundraiser was canceled after complaints from the community.

The Saline Music Boosters planned to raise funds by selling Chick-Fil-A sandwiches at music events. Chick-Fil-A is a lightning rod in America's culture wars - read why here.

The school district took to Facebook to announce it had canceled the fundraiser. But it also asked the community to help identify ways of raising funds. People were invited to make suggestions on a Google form.

Reaction to the announcement was mixed - with many people thanking the district for canceling the fundraiser and others criticizing the district for succumbing to bullying.
