Who Are We?

Salina Downtown, Inc., a non-profit organization and partner to the City of Salina, manages the Lee District, a 31 block business improvement district in Salina’s city center. SDI is governed by a 13-member board elected by Lee District members. The board also serves, as appointed by the Mayor, as the Lee District Advisory Board.
