The city of Salina has progressed mightily recently, boasting a revitalized downtown, several growing college campuses and a future full of incoming jobs. One major problem remains. “We’re in desperate need of housing.” Lauren Driscoll, director of Salina’s Community and Development Services department, knows she is not the only person around town who holds this sentiment. Salina has been stuck at a population short of 50,000 for decades, and with an influx of jobs that will be offered by expanding employers in the coming years, there is a chance of finally surpassing that threshold.
