Utah County Creates Roadmap for Growth, Saving Farmland
By Courtney Lowery, 12-12-08
The Salt Lake Tribune’s Brandon Loomis has a great story today about how Morgan County, Utah is poising itself for a quickly approaching population boom. The story highlights a Rocky Mountain community that—unlike others already grappling with rampant growth—has the space and time to really envision what kind of place it wants to be.
Here’s the nut:
“Morgan is an up-and-coming mountain hub that soon will be the fastest-growing county in Utah, but its residents don’t want their kids pushed out by million-dollar mortgages.”
Saving farmland and building dense city centers are two ways they’re going at that. Read Loomis’ story here.
