Salem's proposed development project is getting positive reaction. This 5 - 6 story building located at the corner block of Dodge & Washington (see map) has a projected cost of $45 million to build. The mayor is quoted to say about the project: "It will have the benefit of stretching our downtown up to this section of Washington St & create a destination replete with wide sidewalks for al fresco dining and ample new retail space, combined with residential and office units above."
