Downtown/Old Town Development Proposal
This proposal anticipates the potential development of new municipal facilities; city hall, police station, library and other governmental uses, combined with new commercial locations and new residential components in a multi-block area located two streets westward and one street eastward of the central downtown area extending from between the 100 and 500 blocks of Main Street. Additionally, the inclusion of the existing train station combined with a new transit hub would create a Transit Oriented Development opportunity.
The primary properties to be considered for redevelopment include many City of Salinas parcels, buildings, and parking facilities. More than fifteen city blocks could be affected by this major redevelopment plan. The City of Salinas has entered into an exclusive negotiating agreement with Salinas Renaissance Partners, LLC.
