Affordable Housing Support
The City Council enacted a six-month pause on new multifamily residential building and subdivision applications in standard 'RM' zones. The break gives staff time to finish new design rules for how apartments interface with single-family neighborhoods.
Commercial Development in M-G Zone
The old Best Buy building is a total eyesore, and the city wants your take on what should replace it. Whether you want more apartments or a new hangout spot, now is the time to speak up before they decide for you.
Downtown Redevelopment
The city's major downtown redevelopment project is moving forward, but it's currently held up by old property easements and negotiations with UDOT over street access and parking.
Property Disposition
The city is looking to sell land on State Street. This could change how that area is used and impact local development.

Cherry Street Project Area Closure
Murray wrapped up the 35-year-old Cherry Street redevelopment area after boosting property values by nearly 2,000 percent. The city funded a final storm drain detention basin at 4580 South Cherry Street and dissolved the district to help local businesses combine parcels.
Block 1 Utility Easement Vacations
The city is moving forward with vacating utility easements in the downtown Block 1 redevelopment area so developers can finalize their financing and start digging the parking garage.
