The shade structure project at the corner of Ash and Santa Fe is in full swing.

After a period of waiting for the pre-engineered pieces to arrive in Salina, Crews from Hutton Construction are now in motion to erect the metal roof that will provide not only covered parking – but shade and amenities for the farmer’s market, performers and concert goers alike.

The concrete and steel project, which includes lighting, fabric sails and ceiling fans has an estimated price tag around $1.4 million.
