SLCo Gets Two Quality Growth Awards
Salt Lake County
Recognized With Two
Governor’s Quality
Growth Awards
Salt Lake County’s Cooperative County Plan has been recognized for two long term planning projects. The awards were presented to Mayor Peter Corroon and the County’s Planning Division at the Ninth Envision Utah Governor’s Quality Growth Awards ceremony.
The County Cooperative Plan is a multi-year program designed to involve all 16 municipalities in Salt Lake County and the county’s townships and unincorporated areas. The common issues include transportation, resource management and environmental issues. It’s made up of planning directors from each of the 16 cities and the county.
Through the Governor’s Quality Growth Awards, Envision Utah and the Quality Growth Commission recognize communities, developers and individuals whose actions promote quality growth, innovative development, and strategic land preservation that help create a more sustainable, livable state. The honorees serve as models to neighboring communities.
The Cooperative County Plan was recognized for two projects:
• Crosswalk Collaboration Portal/Active Map Series
• Bike/Pedestrian/Transit Interactive Map
Both awards are the product of a multi-agency collaboration, including the Wasatch Front Regional Council, 16 municipalities, private consultants and the Utah Transit Authority (UTA).
“This kind of cooperation between governments and businesses strengthens our ability to improve our citizens’ quality of life,” says Mayor Peter Corroon.
