What's CITY Talking About?
New Vision for Pioneer Park
Salt Lake City’s Pioneer Park is set for an $18.4 million makeover. The redesign includes new amenities like courts, playgrounds, event spaces, and more greenery. Construction is slated for September 2025 and will temporarily relocate the Salt Lake Farmers Market to nearby streets. [KSL]

Boil Advisory for Huntsville Water
Huntsville residents now have tap water after a leak in the town’s storage tank shut off supply for a few days. However, it’s still not fit for drinking or cooking unless boiled first. [KSL]
Utah’s Adoption Industry
Utah’s adoption-friendly laws have turned us into a hub for adoption agencies, but that comes with a dark side. Uncapped financial benefits, irreversible adoption agreements, and laws favoring adoptive parents over birth fathers raise concerns about exploitation and coercion. [KUER]
Salt Lake’s Big TV Moment
The Washington Post called 2024 “the year of Mormon women,” and we could credit our local reality TV stars for that. Who made us laugh this year, and what does the future hold for reality’s convicts and unions? [City Cast Salt Lake 🎧]
