In what has become the largest redevelopment project in state history, Utah released the 600 acre former state prison site in Draper, UT (Salt Lake City region) for development proposals in early 2022 after nearly 2 years of intense planning, study, and public engagement. Cities redevelop properties all the time, but it is rare when the redevelopment authority is a state agency. As a result, a new toolkit was created to plan, solicit development interest, finance the infrastructure, and manage the development agreement requiring state bonds, changes in state legislation, and ultimately, the Governor’s signature. This session will focus on the unique public-private partnership necessary to recycle this site into a walkable, urban center that will serve as a model for economic development, innovation, renewable energy, water conservation, affordable housing, and next generation mobility in the heart of Utah’s “Silicon Slopes.”
