The City of Salisbury is working with the community to create a new Comprehensive Plan for a stronger and smarter future. Forward 2040 will establish a framework to guide planning priorities and decisions over the next 20 years related to land use, future growth, physical development, and capital improvements.

The Salisbury Fire Department is joining the national campaign to celebrate Fire Prevention Week. The theme for 2019 is: “Not Every Hero Wears a Cape. Plan and Practice Your Escape!”

The goal is to educate people of all ages about the small but important actions they can take to keep themselves and those around them safe.
