The Salt Lake mayor promises to invest in the west side during election time. But it seems all the RDA money keeps going to downtown. The proposed new year-round public market is almost promised by the RDA again to downtown. They have had their fair share of the redevelopment money.
The developers want to spend $31 million to create a space by their new apartments, whereas the Fairpark already has the buildings, parking and a TRAX station. The state has recently invested in the buildings, and it is clean and safe.
To allow the west side to have something so simple and beneficial is the least the city can do.
