We've worked with members of the public and a diverse range of stakeholders for over a year to develop the Preferred Vision for the Point of the Mountain, which was presented to the Point of the Mountain Development Commission on January 22nd, 2018, and will be shared with the legislature during the 2018 Legislative Session.
Click here to learn more about the details contained within the vision.
The Phase Two Scenario Survey has been released and can be taken at PointOfTheMountainSurvey.org. The survey allows residents to weigh in on the best elements of five possible scenarios for how the region will develop, spanning topics from air quality and recreation to job growth and the economy.
We will be presenting the information contained in this survey at the public workshops later this week:
After they are held, the materials from the public workshops will be posted on PointOfTheMountainFuture.org for those unable to attend.
All input from the in-person workshops and online survey will be compiled by the project team and will be used to create a preferred scenario. The Point of the Mountain Development Commission will present the preferred scenario during the 2018 Legislative Session.
Further materials:
The Point of the Mountain Development Commission invites you to attend a town hall/visioning workshop to help create a vision for the future of the Point of the Mountain area. This area has over 20,000 acres of undeveloped property in Salt Lake and Utah Counties. This includes the prison site and much more land beyond it.
At the meeting you’ll have the chance to weigh in on the best elements of five possible scenarios for how the region will develop.
We will be hosting two public visioning workshops, please join us for whichever is most convenient for you:
The Baseline Scenario for the Point of the Mountain has been released following the Point of the Mountain Development Commission meeting this morning!
The Point of the Mountain Development Commission is exploring different options to accommodate the growth and the implications of those choices. It is impossible to predict the future with complete accuracy, but this baseline scenario anticipates how the area could turn out in 2050 if we continue on our current path.

We are now beginning the process of modeling different scenarios for public workshops later this year, and will keep this website updated with the latest news.
Thank you to everyone who attended the Phase Two Stakeholder Kickoff! For those who did not, we've created a survey where you are able to share which variables you believe are the most important to focus on and model as we move forward with the creation of multiple scenarios throughout the remainder of the year.

Utahns have high expectations and ambitious hopes for the Point of the Mountain area. From the rapidly growing cities to the booming tech sector to the beautiful natural surroundings, Utahns want the Point of the Mountain to be prosperous and thriving, accessible and enjoyable, and healthy and beautiful. The Point of the Mountain can lead the way in establishing a 21st Century “innovation economy,” providing a convenient and enjoyable lifestyle, and demonstrating sustainable approaches to using natural resources and improving air quality.
