Officials from Utah’s cities all raised their hands when asked how many of them love living here. But with 2 million more residents expected by 2050, they were again asked how many worry that growth may damage their quality of life. All hands went up again.
“Growth is coming. And we have a plan,” Andrew Gruber, executive director of the Wasatch Front Regional Council told the Utah League of Cities and Towns convention on Thursday.
He then presented highlights of a blueprint about how to handle that growth called the Wasatch Choice 2050 Vision, which was developed over the past four years by elected officials, transportation agencies, businesses and residents.
