Housing in Salina is a difficult thing to find. Although there’s a unique option in downtown, it’s just about as scarce. More than 50 lofts can be found above the various businesses and restaurants along Santa Fe Avenue and surrounding streets, and the owner of more than half of those said every unit he has is currently filled. Brian Richardson got involved in renovating upstairs units along Santa Fe 15 years ago. … He said it started with some of the old Brown Mackie College buildings that were downtown, which sat vacant for nearly 10 years by the time he began work on them.
