The Saline City Council is talking with Praxis Properties about possibly establishing a town square in the heart of downtown.
The town square would be located along South Ann Arbor Street of Praxis Properties’ Murphy’s Crossing.
City manager Colleen O’Toole says the square would be an improvement over using a nearby parking lot for local events. She says the city will set up a task force this month to get feedback from council members and the local community.
“The city is really interested in identifying a suitable location in investing in some sort of downtown greenspace with public gathering space.”
O’Toole adds the space would be larger than using city-owned land alone.
The Saline City Council will meet after the new year to discuss the task force’s findings and the next steps.
