Life On State Vision

2010

The Life on State project establishes a shared vision for the future of our valley's central, historic corridor. The vision was built on broad involvement from residents and stakeholders along State Street. The partnership believes that its coordinated efforts can create a safe environment for private investment consistent with the Vision, a move in a  new direction is not a risky proposition if it is backed by a strong, enduring commitment from the Life on State partnership.

Downtown Master Plan

2015

The Downtown Master Plan is an outline of the foundations, aspirations and building blocks of a new city center. This is a vision with a 25-year horizon for growth and change in this unique neighborhood, and transformation to a walkable, urban place to serve as a city center. This plan reflects input of hundreds of residents, businesses and community partners over the past decade as they have called for city leaders to facilitate building a “heart of the community” that they could call their own.

 

MODERATE INCOME HOUSING PLAN

2016

The intent of the South Salt Lake City Moderate Income Housing Plan is to ensure that the City provides ample opportunities for quality housing for all residents, especially those who live in cost-burdened households or who experience critical needs. While South Salt Lake provides a considerable amount of housing to the region’s low- to moderate-income households, the need for additional housing opportunity is still acute. This plan advocates for additional affordable housing such that any resident can fully participate in and benefit from all aspects of neighborhood and community life. 

 

Economic Development Strategic Plan

2016 (DRAFT)

South Salt Lake City is a diverse, centrally located City in the heart of the Salt Lake Valley. Strategically located at the interchange of I-15, I-80 and SR-201 and being a major mass transit corridor, with all three TRAX lines and the S Line running through the Central Point Station, the City is well-situated to attract shoppers and commuters who travel along the major transportation corridors in the area. This report identifies and organizes the City into six key economic development districts. The State Street District allows the City the opportunity to participate in bringing grandeur back to this important and iconic corridor.
