Statement from Police Chief Jerry Stokes regarding "Cruise Downtown Salisbury"

Anonym 0 70290
As Chief of the Salisbury Police Department, I have worked to encourage growth in our downtown and was happy to see the gathering of auto enthusiasts on weekend evenings and what it does to help businesses in our Municipal Service District. While there were some initial concerns, the Police Department had not observed any behaviors that led us to direct our officers to address unlawful activity related to the gatherings. After several weeks, based on our observations and the complaints from residents and visitors in the downtown area of racing, public consumption of alcohol, and noise from screeching tires and revving or general modified engine noise, I am left with no choice but to direct SPD officers to strictly enforce the following laws and statutes:

City, DSI end exclusive negotiations with Empire Hotel developer

Anonym 0 65025
City officials and the Downtown Salisbury, Inc. (DSI) Board of Directors ended exclusive negotiations with Empire Hotel Holdings, LLC, and its development arm, Black Point Investments, LLC, to redevelop the Empire Hotel. The end of the exclusivity means that DSI and the City of Salisbury are available to explore additional redevelopment options for the site.

Salisbury Transit Now Serving ADA/Paratransit

Transit 0 50762
The City of Salisbury Transit System started providing ADA Paratransit service to area residents in August. Previously, the Rowan Transit System provided the city’s ADA Paratransit service via a third party.

     This year’s leaf collection map is now available! The leaf map shows when each City of Salisbury area will receive their leaf collection services.
     Remember, pile your loose leaves at the curb, not in the street and not in bags! A copy of the map is in this month’s water/utility statement, and at salisburync.gov/LeafMap.
