Letter: UVU student housing will benefit the community

When my family and I moved back to Orem several years ago after living out of state for nearly 20 years, we found a home and neighborhood we love on the southwest side of the city.

One of the things that attracted us to our neighborhood is its proximity to Utah Valley University. We have been grateful for UVU's contribution to the lives of Orem residents.

When the plan to build student housing on the eastern edge of campus was proposed, we recognized it as part of a progression of good growth for our area.
