The Phase One Report for the Point of the Mountain Visioning Process has been released!

"Utahns have high expectations and ambitious hopes for the area surrounding the border between Salt Lake County and Utah County (the Point of the Mountain). 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."

The report includes results from stakeholder outreach and expert research, combined to create an aspirational vision for the Point of the Mountain. The report lists key strategies to help achieve the goals for the region that have been identified by the public, stakeholders, and experts. Findings from Phase 1 will form the key elements of the scenarios to be explored in Phase 2.
