Salt Lake City Council

This year, Salt Lake City will determine where to allocate nearly $4.9 million in federal dollars for housing and human services. The city is mindful the situation could change at any time.

The Salt Lake City Council gave its final approval to move forward with Ryan Smith’s proposed downtown revitalization around Delta Center, which the public will foot part of the bill for.

Even after an attention-grabbing Democratic National Convention, Kamala Harris remains largely undefined in the minds of many voters. That task is now up to her campaign and the delegates heading home.

As the Salt Lake City Council mulls allowing 600-foot-high buildings around the Delta Center, public comments are mixed on the project as a whole.

Although a deal has been reached between the city and the owner of the Utah Jazz and Utah Hockey Club, the work to develop the project is just beginning.

While fiscal hawks push for only the bare necessities, others say a balance between current needs and long-term goals is the right approach.

Salt Lake City considers 500 and 600 South as its “grand boulevards.” Upgrades could make the downtown core a much friendlier place for the city’s bikers and pedestrians.

The community-backed plan to turn the Rio Grande Depot back into a train station isn’t mentioned in newly released plans to redevelop the surrounding area.

The city’s new incentive program is slated to go into effect next spring, but experts say factors outside the city’s control could stymie development.

The changes, approved by the city council last week, will allow up to four-unit structures in all residential areas of the city — as long as affordability requirements are met.

The incumbent told supporters on election night that the results show voters want a city government that “prioritizes results over politics.”

While there is support for the plan’s goals, some of the finer details still need to be fleshed out.
