With 117,000 inhabitants, West Jordan is the state’s third most-populous city (behind Salt Lake City and West Valley City). For residents, the city is missing a downtown — a place that reflects its growth and identity. So the city hopes to develop one.
Utah’s third most-populous city hopes to provide an answer to that question by developing one. Here is where the planning sits and the challenges faced.
For some residents, this is the best gathering space in West Jordan. They’re content with its features. For others, though, the city lacks a center, a core, a heart. “The city doesn’t have any interest in pushing those landowners into something that they don’t want to do,” said Tauni Barker, the city’s public affairs director. “However, they do want to have a plan in place. So if a developer wanted to come and buy out those landowners at any time in the future, there was kind of a plan for what that area would look like.”
“We’ve had conversations over the years with the city, and we are open to considering a proposal,” said Sandra Riesgraf, the school district’s communications director. “But we don’t have one to consider right now.” There’s another challenge: The parcel hosts the school district’s Auxiliary Services and its relocation adds to the bill. There would also have to be developers willing to work with the city on its visioning for a city center. And West Jordan might need extra help from Salt Lake County or a state agency.
