MODERATE INCOME HOUSING PLAN
2016
The intent of the South Salt Lake City Moderate Income Housing Plan is to ensure that the City provides ample opportunities for quality housing for all residents, especially those who live in cost-burdened households or who experience critical needs. While South Salt Lake provides a considerable amount of housing to the region’s low- to moderate-income households, the need for additional housing opportunity is still acute. This plan advocates for additional affordable housing such that any resident can fully participate in and benefit from all aspects of neighborhood and community life.
Economic Development Strategic Plan
2016 (DRAFT)
South Salt Lake City is a diverse, centrally located City in the heart of the Salt Lake Valley. Strategically located at the interchange of I-15, I-80 and SR-201 and being a major mass transit corridor, with all three TRAX lines and the S Line running through the Central Point Station, the City is well-situated to attract shoppers and commuters who travel along the major transportation corridors in the area. This report identifies and organizes the City into six key economic development districts. The State Street District allows the City the opportunity to participate in bringing grandeur back to this important and iconic corridor.
