The Planning and Neighborhood department seeks to improve the quality of life of all citizens, including lower-income individuals and families living in Salisbury’s most distressed neighborhoods. We facilitate the stabilization and revitalization of these areas by increasing the supply and condition of affordable housing, developing long-range economic development and reinvestment strategies targeted to these areas, encouraging new infrastructure construction, and supporting public service providers like Rowan Helping Ministries, the Family Crisis Council, and the Salisbury Community Development Corporation.
