What's CITY Talking About?
Next SLC Stadium Project at Bat
The Power District development, anchored by a Major League Baseball stadium on SLC’s west side, got its first city approval this week. But what happens if we don’t secure a team? [City Cast Salt Lake 🎧]
1,000+ Bed Homeless Campus in Salt Lake?
Utah officials are considering potential sites for a new homeless campus, and the Oxbow Jail site along the Jordan River could be a top contender. However, South Salt Lake Mayor Cherie Wood raised concerns about the sustainability of the site in a small city. [Salt Lake Tribune 🔒]

Who Is Lucifer “Justin Case” Everylove?
By now you probably got your mail-in ballot and saw the name Lucifer “Justin Case” Everylove, an unaffiliated candidate running for president — but only in Utah. Everylove chose to run here because unaffiliated candidate Evan McMullin received 21.5% of Utah votes back in 2016. [ABC 4]
