The City of Saline’s long-awaited downtown gathering space is getting closer to reality.
The latest plans have been presented to the City Council and the Planning Commission. It’s a public-private partnership with Praxis Properties near Murphy’s Crossing.
Mayor Brian Marl says he’s happy to see significant progress.
One concern that’s been brought up is the length of the lease between Praxis and the city. It’s an initial ten-year term followed by four additional ten-year contracts.
“This is something that we’ve talked about for the better part of three decades. We’ve made more progress in the last three years than we had in the previous 30 years. And I’m very excited how far we have come, in particular, these past 12 months.”
The fear is that Praxis could pull out after a decade. Owner Tyler Kinsley says it’s only in case minor changes are needed over time.
