Salisbury University plots 750-bed student housing complex
An aged Eastern Shore motel and shopping center in Wicomico County will soon give way to an expansion of Salisbury University.A 750-bed student housing development is set to break ground in the fall and will be the largest residential complex ever built on the rural campus, said university spokesman Jason Rhodes. The cost of the project is between $70 and $80 million and will be funded through the sale of tax-exempt bonds to private investors later this year, Rhodes said.
Gotta attract those foreign students. And what better way than to build a compound catering to their specific cultural needs. Salisbury School has already been successful with the same demographic marketing approach.
With no new jobs in Salisbury, who's going to live in the apartments and houses rented by local landlords when 750 students fill the new SU building(s) and not theirs?
Seems to me, that's not SU's problem. It's the City's problem. How about attracting some businesses, rather than spending time painting rainbow crosswalks downtown.
Maybe it will get the rents down to where they are reasonable for ordinary families, instead of having four or more tenants each in one rental property paying high monthly rental prices. Cry me a river for these landlords.
How about City finally enforced zoning in single family neighborhoods and exclaims our housing stock and neighborhood stability. They can no longer hide behind the crocodile tears and whining about where students will live.
So I wonder what the owner of the old "Salisbury Office Supply " is doing with his building on Bateman Street, across from the parking garage? The College wouldn't buy it appears.
Love to know who published this because I too feel the same. He will be milking other properties he started and didn't finish leaving good people destroyed.
Look at the housing SU already has off of dykes road, south division, Milford Street and now this?? It absolutely will eventually take its toll on local rental property industry. The sad thing is most of the idiots responsible for running Salisbury in the ground grew up hete, born and raised here
F*** SU and the way they've changed the course and turned to the hard left liberal socialist views. They've consumed Salisbury and the so called local leaders are too blinded by the almighty dollar and sold the whole city out and it's lifelong citizens
Good Lord, just how much student housing does that university need? They do need to get them out of neighborhoods, though. They are a royal pain in the azz.
Cool! Than I can identify as a girl and sleep in the girls part and eventually rape a few of them!
ReplyDeleteJust kidding, but this is how sick our country has become.
Good maybe the rent around here will go down
ReplyDeleteThat is going to hurt any landlord who owns college rental housing.

DeleteThis probably won't affect current rentals. The college will probably increase enrollment to fill the beds.

ReplyDeleteWe'll need a subway to haul students back and forth to the bars. Oops, will have to tear up Main Street for 5 more years.
More shack up quarters. How handy.

ReplyDeleteThe city needs to limit rentals in the city to get rid of the riffraff
