The history of the Federal Correctional Institute in Milan is the subject of a Saline Area Historical Society presentation at 2 p.m., Feb. 13, at the 109 Cultural Exchange, 109 W. Michigan Ave., in Saline.
There is no cost to attend the presentation.
The low-security federal correctional institute is located at 4004 East Arkona Road. There are 1,054 male inmates at the institution. The campus features 59 buildings on 332 acres. It opened in 1933 as a detention farm and housed female inmates from 1933-39.
Sunny, with a high of 97 and low of 67 degrees. Partly Cloudy in the morning, sunny in the afternoon, clear overnight.
Would urge the city to NOT privatize the Rec Center or sell it.
Ali. There is a reason you don’t understand. You choose not to. Investing in our seniors health and wellbeing is much more important than investing in a recreation center that has continued to lose money and only serves a small portion of our city’s community.
We are seniors and fully familiar with both facilities. Perhaps what is not understood is the number of seniors who use the Recreation Center, in particular the aquatic center as arthritis for many of us means water is one of the few ways we can exercise. Many of course also use other areas of the facility.
EDIT: The Saline American Legion was a sponsor for this event, supplying the food for guests. SASC is grateful for their continued support.
Kudos to The Saline American Legion. They have been a consistent contributor to the SASC. Seniors in our community have earned and deserve the benefits that the senior center offers. Great work!
