Salina is in a unique place of growth, with employers finding it a great location to bring new industry, with new employees buying and renting houses to a point where the city is in a housing crisis. The population of this city has been close to the 50,000 mark for a while, with many people expecting Salina to reach that mark in the next few years. “For a long time, there’s been community discussion as if 50,000 is the threshold for certain retail and restaurants,” said Salina City Manager Mike Schrage. h Schrage said while that perception is somewhat true, there are other factors that businesses look at, and Salina, as a trade center for the region, can still bring in some of those businesses.
