Salina selected as the best place in
Kansas to raise kids by
Welcome to the City of Salina’s municipal webpage! Your local government believes it is both a duty and an honor to provide our citizens with the best possible public services. As you can see, Salina has been selected by Business Week magazine for 2010 as the best place in Kansas to raise your kids! For those of us familiar with the community, this is no surprise.
Salina is a city of nearly 50,000 people at the crossroads of Interstates 70 and 135, right in the heart of Kansas. As a retail, manufacturing and cultural center, this is a community that is truly making a positive difference in the lives of people.
If you live, work or happen to visit Salina, we invite you to visit our new Kenwood Cove Aquatic Park, attend a concert or sporting event at the Bicentennial Center, get a bite to eat at a downtown evening hotspot, or just relax and take in a Salina Symphony performance at the Stiefel Theatre for the Performing Arts. For theatre goers, the Salina Community Theatre is a nationally recognized destination. Or, feel free to stop by the Rolling Hills Wildlife Adventure for the ultimate exotic animal experience. On June 7, 8, 9, 10 don't miss the 36th annual Smoky Hill River Festival, our celebration of the arts and community, with music, food and art galore!
You can now see why world renowned adventurer, the late Steve Fossett, chose Salina and our 12,300 foot runway as both the launch and landing site for his record setting, around the world flight in the Virgin Atlantic GlobalFlyer.
As you can see, Salina continually strives to be Kansas' finest community. Thank you for visiting our website and allowing us to serve you!
Sincerely,
Jason A. Gage
Your city manager
