🎃 Your guide to Halloweek
October 29, 2025

What's CITY Talking About
Sundance Workers Form a Union
Employees at the Sundance Institute are unionizing under the Communications Workers of America Local 9003 and have asked leadership to recognize the union by Oct. 31. In a statement, Sundance leadership said they support unions and are committed to collaborating with staff to meet employee needs. [ABC4]
Low Voter Turnout
Only about 10% of Salt Lake County voters have cast ballots so far in the municipal election. Low voter turnout statewide has county clerks urging residents to use ballot drop boxes or vote in person, since ballots must be received, not just postmarked, by 8 p.m. on Nov. 4. [FOX 13]
High Rise Apartments in Central City?
A 225-foot apartment tower could soon rise next to Central City’s historic St. Mark’s Cathedral, after the Salt Lake City planning commission voted 7-1 to recommend rezoning the site. The project now awaits final approval from the City Council. [KSL]
