Update, Central Metro

Midvale Elementary


@ http://www.njraarchitects.com/newsMidvale.html

Midvale, Utah

Square Footage: 87,464

Client: Canyons School District

The design concept is based on depicting unique land formation in Utah to elementary school students. The Building will serve as "The Third Teacher" depicting land movement at seismic fault lines, effects due to wind, rain, and erosion. All of Utah's five national parks are depicted subtly in the building design explaining the formations of mountains, caves and canyons. The historic school bell (manufactured in the year1905) from the original building will be restored and installed in the center of the new courtyard on a concrete pedestal. The history of Midvale City will also be depicted in certain prominent areas in the new school.

'Go big' with expansion, Park City shopping center told

City Hall panel sees strong prospects for more development at Snow Creek



Jay Hamburger, The Park Record

http://www.parkrecord.com/ci_2176063...ce=most_viewed

An idea to expand the Snow Creek Center won accolades
on Wednesday night during a City Hall meeting, an early endorsement
from the panel that will eventually consider the expansion in much more
detail if the developer moves forward with the project.

The Snow Creek Center is situated just off the high-traffic Park
Avenue-Kearns Boulevard intersection. Few people use the moniker
Snow Creek Center in regular conversation, but the shopping center is
well known as the location of The Market at Park City grocery store, a
state liquor store and a variety of restaurants...

...The Planning Commission on Wednesday was upbeat as members
spoke about the project, something that is uncommon for the panel early
in discussions about a major project. The members told the
development team the site could handle more square footage than
exists there now.

They said, perhaps, the developers could consider adding residences to
Snow Creek Center, which is currently exclusively commercial. There
also seemed to be at least some indication that the Planning
Commission would consider taller buildings than are there now. Mick
Savage, a Planning Commissioner, said the site should be optimized.

"Go big or go home," Savage said.

Charlie Wintzer, another member of the Planning Commission, also
spoke about the possibilities of taller buildings and said residences could
work well at the location.

"I think it could be a really fantastic neighborhood," he said...


Park City - Main Street, Imperial Hotel Project

elliottworkgroup

The imperial hotel is in the midst of a major renovation. After
sitting abandoned for years during the hard recession, Park City is pleased
to see this project approaching completion.

The way it stands now, there will be commercial space on the main
street walking level, then the second floor will consist of office space,
and finally the 3rd & 4th floors will be condos in Park City.

The Imperial hotel, was often used as a hotel, and dates back to 1904.
This historic Park City Real Estate was in need of a major facelift, and
should suit to the expectations of our current visitor who demands high
end finishes, and quality work! Most business owners are VERY
excited about the opening of the Imperial Hotel which will draw even
more business to the “Upper main street” area. The work should be
done within the next 6-9 months. We are all very excited to see the
finished product!


221 Main – Imperial Hotel

Park City, Utah" (The Elliott Work Group)


The Imperial Hotel is one of the more revered buildings in this mining
town, anchoring the top of Main Street. It has housed thousands of
people over the years, and possibly some ghosts as well.
Updating necessitated careful attention. Currently it is under
construction but will soon find new residents in it’s freshly updated
walls.

Historic preservation played a key part in the renovation.
Close conversations with the Historic Board and the City, including how
high a historic handrail would be, have resulted in an accurate rendition
of the building. The walls are solid now, the windows keep the wind out
and the materials inside have been upgraded but the Imperial Hotel is on
it’s way to standing as honest and true as it always has.

So good economic news continues for Utah. Hopefully Boeing will see the value of our workforce and will continue to
expand. There's still plenty of land to lease them surrounding their facilities at SLC.

I will try and get some pictures of the rather large addition under construction. It's big but mostly visible from the
airfield than public side.


The UTA Welcome Center, pictured below, is in its finishing stages of construction. This will be the station for TRAX at
the airport, at least until the new terminal is built. The picture doesn't represent the final look of the station, there is
still exterior work to be done.

Environmental assessment is complete for the new terminal master plan(s). Architectural and engineering companies are
in the process of drawing up more specific plans for what is to be built.

Olympic Exploratory Committee tells Gov. Herbert and Salt Lake City to go after 2026 Winter Games


Fireworks light up the sky over the Rice-Eccles Olympic Stadium during the opening ceremony of the Salt Lake 2002 Olympic Winter Games, February 8, 2002. (Reauters)

By Lisa Riley Roche, Deseret News

http://www.deseretnews.com/article/8...ter-Games.html

SALT LAKE CITY — The state’s Olympic Exploratory Committee is unanimously recommending Salt Lake City pursue another bid, this time for the 2026 Winter Games.

“Utah’s Olympic legacy is strong and vibrant and ready to provide the foundation for a future Olympic Winter Games,” the committee stated in a 36-page report to Gov. Gary Herbert and Salt Lake Mayor Ralph Becker dated Wednesday.

The economic benefits of hosting another Olympics is expected to produce a $5 billion economic impact, provide more than 30,000 jobs, years of employment and generate more than $75 million in revenues to state and local governments, the report concludes...

Report says Utah should go for 2026 Winter Olympics

Will Herbert, Becker follow report’s advice that SLC is “ready, willing and able” to host 2026 Games?



By Mike Gorrell, The Salt Lake Tribune

...But with the resolution this year of a contentious fight between the USOC and the International Olympic Committee about revenue distribution, the American Olympic movement has more confidence than it’s had in years that the Games will come back to U.S. soil before too long.

Salt Lake City is eager to again welcome the world, the Olympic Exploratory Committee said, citing the presence of world-class venues that are still in use, venue communities with more hotel rooms and improved transportation systems, strong sports programs for elite as well as recreational athletes, and community pride in being an Olympic city...

SALT LAKE CITY - The unemployment rate for the state of Utah dropped unexpectedly by 0.4% in September 2012 to settle at a 4-year low of 5.4%, according to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics Friday. Utah now ranks well within the 10 states with the lowest unemployment rates in the country, where only 5 other states boast lower rates. North Dakota continued to lead the nation with a lean 3% rate in September while Nebraska (3.9%), South Dakota (4.4%), Iowa (5.2%), and Oklahoma (5.2%) logged rates lower than Utah`s 5.4%. Utah followed the national trend of improving economic conditions as the national unemployment rate also dropped to a 4-year low of 7.8% after tumbling considerably in September by 0.3%.

Utah`s labor market, however, is trending much more positively than the nation`s as a whole. The unemployment rate is falling for much healthier economic reasons in Utah. While many people continued to drop out of the national workforce, Utah`s labor force continued to expand as 8,025 more people found work across the state while 5,648 fewer people found themselves without jobs in September. Though still short 56,313 jobs from Utah`s pre-recession employment peak in 2008 - and with an unemployment rate still almost double the record-low of 2.4% set in 2007 - the state`s job market is well on the mend from the Great Recession.

Loveland family of Xactware donates $2.5 million to the Living Planet Aquarium - Construction Moves Forward

Alpine family gift means new home for aquarium



http://www.heraldextra.com/news/loca...73d2cd81b.html

By Caleb Warnock, Daily Herald

A $2.5 million gift from an Alpine family is helping move the Living Planet Aquarium into a much larger home.

The Loveland family -- founders of Xactware in Orem -- will now be the namesake of the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium when it opens in December 2013, director of public relations Angie Hyde said. The Loveland Foundation did not immediately return calls for comment.

Nearly 40,000 Utah County residents visited the aquarium in the past year, Hyde said. When the aquarium first announced its search for a new home, officials announced plans to close this month. Instead, they are breaking ground on their new building next week and will remain in their existing location for another year.

Staff have been busy collecting new animals for their much larger home, and some of those animals are going on display now...

One of the most popular exhibits is the touch tank, which now has some new inhabitants -- horned sharks, a leopard shark, crabs, giant sea stars and urchins.

"That is pretty exciting," Hyde said. "The leopard shark will come right up to you and you can touch it."

All these new animals will find a permanent home when the 136,000-square-foot, two-story expansion opens -- a far sight larger than the 43,000-square-foot building that has housed this aquarium for years.

There will be new species of penguins and a shark tube replicating walking underwater with sharks swimming overhead.

The $20 million expansion is being funded with a $14 million bond from Draper, which will be repaid by the aquarium over 20 years "and does not affect taxes at all," Hyde said. "It is really a direct loan."

The Legislature has given $2 million, the Loveland family has donated $2.5 million and the rest has been raised from donors and sponsors. A groundbreaking will be held on Oct. 24...

Central Metro - SKI ranks all three Park City Resorts in top 10


Park City, Old Main

By b. crockett

Ski Magazine releases rankings of North American resorts

According to a Ski Magazine reader survey, for the first time in survey history all three Park City resorts ranked in
the Top 10 Resorts in North America. Both Canyons Resort and Park City Mountain Resort ranked higher than in past
years. Canyons taking the tenth position, a first for the resort, moving up six spots from the previous year. PCMR went
from sixth last year to fourth this year.

Deer Valley Resort took second place according to the survey results, falling from a five-year stretch in the number
one position. Whistler Blackcomb took first this year.

"We held the top spot for five years in a row, which no one had ever done before," said Deer Valley General Manager
Bob Wheaton. "For Whistler, this is the first time they have been number one since 1999, but they were always in the
top five.

"This past year, they had incredible, natural snow which resulted in record skier visits for them and still, being in
this company - the top of the list - is quite the honor. We're not going to quit shooting for number one."

Deer Valley Resort took the most subcategory Ski Magazine awards of any single resort, winning first place in six of
20 categories, which included first place for grooming, guest services, on-mountain food, lodging, dining and family
programs.

"This survey says something about the three resorts," Wheaton added, "but it says something even stronger about
everyone in town and how we're regarded in the industry. Everybody contributes. That's one thing we hear time and
time again, how friendly and cooperative everyone is, and it really shows."

Park City was the only resort town to have three resorts fall in the Top 10, but the list included popular competitors
such as Vail and Telluride, Colo., Jackson Hole Wyo. and Sun Valley, Idaho.

The annual list, which was released earlier this week, uses thousands of reader surveys to compile the
rankings.

The surveys allow responders to rank up to six resorts and pull from 20 different criteria on the survey. Ski Magazine
sent out 20,000 print surveys as well as another 20,000 through email. Roughly 25 percent of the surveys sent out
are answered, said Ski Magazine Travel Editor Samantha Berman.

"Over the last couple of years, we've made our way - in rapid fashion - up the list," said Mike Goar, General Manager
of Canyons Resort, in a previous interview. "Making it into the Top 10 was a benchmark that our employees, that
everyone here, is quite proud of, and the employees really deserve the credit. We received very high marks on our
customer service."

When Talisker bought the resort in 2007, the property's score hovered in the mid-to-low 20's. Last year, the resort
moved up the list, ranked 16th in North American in a competition against resorts in the United States and Canada.

Canyons Resort made upgrades to the Resort Village and its on-mountain dining, as well as adding 300 acres of
intermediate and advanced trails. The resort also boasts new lodging and dining properties this year and upgrades
to its terrain parks.

PCMR also made upgrades to its terrain park, including a new partnership with Neff Headwear on the exclusive Neff
Land Terrain Park, the latest addition to its award-winning "I Ride Park City," a popular youth program offered to skiers
and snowboarders at the resort.

Deer Valley Resort spent $8 million on renovations that included a complete lift replacement of the Deer Crest Lift, a
four-person gondola that starts near the St. Regis Deer Valley and drops skiers off at the peak of Little Baldy Mountain.
The older lift was replaced with a new, high-speed detachable quad lift, the Mountaineer Express, which has the
capacity to move 1,200 more skiers in a single hour, said Emily Summers, the communications director at Deer Valley
Resort, in a previous interview.

New 16-mile trail is full year ahead of schedule

This graphic shows what the Provo Reservoir Canal Trail will look like once it is enclosed and upgraded. The 16-mile trail will provide non-motorized recreational opportunities and include three paved lanes, a bike lane in each direction and a pedestrian lane, and an unpaved equestrian trail. The trail will connect with other major trails, such as the Provo River Parkway Trail and the Jordan River Parkway Trail. Courtesy graphic


Caleb Warnock, Daily Herald

http://www.heraldextra.com/news/loca...be2f7f010.html

Utah Valley's much-anticipated new 16-mile trail is a full year ahead of schedule.

Paving of the multi-use Murdock Canal Trail is 90 percent complete, all underground crossings are finished except two, and the six trailheads are 75 percent done, project spokeswoman Amy Steinbrech said. She noted that everyone involved is pleased that the trail work is ahead of schedule.

Thousands of people are already illegally using the trail, said Steve Cain, facilities and lands manager for the Provo River Water Users Association.

"Thousands of people are using it every day," he said, noting that traffic is especially high at morning and night. "It is actually a big problem for us. They are walking around construction equipment and paving machines. We are working our way through it."...

...The entire trail is expected to open in early summer, with individual sections of the trail opening as they are completed, as early as this winter, Cain said. Because the project is so far ahead of schedule, signs and safety gates have not arrived from the manufacturers. If those items arrive early, a couple sections of trail could be opened to the public this year.

The 15-foot-wide non-motorized trail will have three lanes when complete, including a bike lane in each direction and a pedestrian lane.

The trail is being built overtop the former Murdock Canal, which now has been piped. In April, a full year ahead of schedule, the last piece of enormous pipe was welded into place. Because piping was ahead of schedule, trail construction is too. When it is in full use, the pipe will feed 400 million gallons of water a day.

.The canal, which was built in 1911 and enlarged in 1944, starts at the mouth of Provo Canyon and runs to Point of the Mountain. The new trail goes through Orem, Lindon, Pleasant Grove, Cedar Hills, American Fork, Highland, Lehi and Bluffdale.

The trail is a monument to local cooperation, Cain said.

"You think about getting through seven cities and the county, a lot of people have worked hard to make this possible," he said. "We appreciate everyone's cooperation."
