Quality housing and beautiful, healthy neighborhoods is South Salt Lake City's highest priority. In the past year, the City embarked on several initiatives to improve housing anf neighborhoods, including implementing a Community Connection program that made a substantial impact on the neighborhoods surrouding Woodrow Wilson Elementary School.
To build on these successes and to make South Salt Lake City a regional leader in quality housing, we are developing a Strategic Housing and Neighborhoods Plan. The Housing Plan will be a collaborative effort involving community leaders, educators, realtors, lenders, developers, analysts, and policy experts. Our goal is to create a plan that is flexible, easy-to-understand, feasible, and responsive to changing market conditions.
