Two downtown city parking lots -- 1 and 11 -- in Salisbury could finally get redeveloped.

This coming Monday the City Council is expected to finalize a contract with Devreco.

Council President Jake Day told the Salisbury Daily Times that during a closed door meeting this week the council decided move ahead with the contract.

The council is hoping to see a multi-use development that would include apartments and retail outlets as well as open space and parking.

The paper reports that developer Brad Gillis called the deal a “great opportunity”.

The company is expected to come up with a proposal after reviewing the financing prospects and marketability.
