The Salina City Commission will hold a public hearing and consider approval of an ordinance expanding the Salina Downtown Redevelopment District.
The proposed action would amend the existing district boundaries under Kansas redevelopment statutes and could affect which properties are eligible for future redevelopment tools and incentives
Redevelopment districts are used by cities to support reinvestment in targeted areas. Expansion of a district does not automatically approve a specific project, but it establishes a broader geographic area where redevelopment mechanisms, such as tax increment financing or other incentive programs, may be applied in the future.
Public hearings are required by state law before district boundaries can be expanded. These hearings give residents, property owners, and business operators an opportunity to comment on the proposed changes and ask questions before the commission takes action.
The agenda materials do not specify which parcels would be added, but downtown district expansions are often tied to long-term planning goals, infrastructure needs, or anticipated redevelopment opportunities.
If approved, the expanded district would shape how future downtown projects are evaluated and could influence where public and private investment is directed over time.
