The City of Saline will host a public forum on downtown Green Space at 5 p.m., Monday, Jan. 6 in the council chambers at Saline City Hall, 100 N. Harris St.
The purpose of the forum is to discuss Saline green spaces. The forum will give people a chance to ask questions about the vision for green space, share thoughts and feedback, and learn more about how it could enhance the community.
Language around the project continues to change. For months it was called a public space or gathering space. For months, the city had targeted the West Henry Street Parking Lot, which hosts events like the Farmers Market or Oktoberfest, as potential home for a gathering place. Now the city is considering a plan to join Tyler Kinley's private project behind Murphy's Crossing (Mac's, Carrigan Cafe, etc.) for a potential gathering place.
The city struck a committee to study the issue and have findings to council soon.
Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 76 and low of 53 degrees. Overcast for the morning, thundery outbreaks in nearby for the afternoon, mist in the evening, partly cloudy overnight.
What a SCAM!
As I recall the initial CARES Fund it was a combined funding of School District and Community Facilities. As I recall, the initial pitch in 2000 or so was that the new High School Pool would be available for community use when not being used by the High School.
