Salida to break ground on new multi-use facility

Posted by Jan Wondra | Aug 7, 2018

The public is invited to a 1 p.m. groundbreaking ceremony on Wednesday, Aug. 8, for Salida’s much anticipated multi-use facility at 8551 W. U.S. Highway 50 in Salida.

The multi-use facility will be a shared space between Salida’s police, fire and public works departments. It will be used for equipment maintenance, storage and as a training room facility.

The roughly $900,000 project recently received a $450,000 Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) grant, which provides a 50-50 match with the city of Salida to cover the construction costs.
