Salem, Indiana (April 17, 2025) – Mayor Justin Green has announced the demolition of an old apartment complex located in the southwest corner of the Salem square. The property, currently owned by the Redevelopment Commission, is set to be torn down as part of a city improvement project aimed at enhancing downtown accessibility.
Once demolition is complete, the space will be converted into a parking lot, providing additional parking options for residents, visitors, and local businesses. The project began on April 14 with completion scheduled for the end of summer.
“This project is another step forward in making Salem’s downtown more accessible and welcoming,” said Mayor Justin Green. “By repurposing this space, we are creating a long-term solution for parking while also improving the overall look and function of the square.”
The City of Salem will provide updates on the project timeline as work progresses.

The City of Salem is pleased to announce the latest developments at Lake Salinda, made possible through READI 1.0 grant funding. As part of ongoing efforts to enhance recreational opportunities in Salem, the grant is funding the construction of a new bathhouse, improving visitor amenities on-site.
In addition to the bathhouse, campsite development is currently underway, providing future opportunities for residents and visitors to enjoy overnight stays at the lake. While a completion date for the campsites has yet to be determined, reservations will be handled through City Hall once the process is finalized.
Mayor Green expressed his excitement about the improvements, stating, "Lake Salinda is a valuable asset to our community, and these upgrades will enhance the visitor experience for years to come. We are grateful for the READI grant funding that allows us to make these much-needed improvements without additional cost to taxpayers."
An official ribbon-cutting ceremony will be announced soon to celebrate the completion of the bathhouse and highlight future developments.
