Since the $12 million dollar Salina Fieldhouse opened in 2017, the streets, sidewalks, and plazas have been reconfigured to make Downtown more inviting. The Downtown District has welcomed many new additions to attract locals and out of town visitors, alike.
The historic Stiefel Theatre has re-created the tower and spire that was part of the theatre’s original construction in 1931. A group of local car enthusiasts is constructing a $5 million auto museum. The KU School of Medicine and Nursing has completed an $8 million renovation of the former Bank of America building.
While Salina 2020 has accepted the role of Master Developer, this project would not be happening without the contribution of countless individuals, businesses, and governmental entities. Their vision, passion, enthusiasm, unwavering determination and willingness to invest in downtown Salina led to the effort to revitalize Historic Downtown Salina.
