  • Salt Lake City Cultural Engagement Guide
    National NAME Conference 2017 “Our City, Your City” Cultural Engagement Guide On behalf of the NAME Site-Planning Committee, we want to welcome you to Salt Lake City. Our city is your city! Despite current suggestions that Salt Lake City has no “night life,” we have world- class microbreweries, outdoor activities, and plenty of opportunities to listen to live music, dancing, sporting events, and over 1,700 restaurants. In fact, in the past 10 years, the cultural diaspora is changing around the world and in our community. Many of today’s best ethnic restaurant owners are former refugees and immigrants from all over the world. We have prepared a cultural guide and suggestions of places to eat, see, and experience during your visit. We are delighted to share our suggestions. We have included both family-friendly, vegan and vegetarian food options, and late-night options. A couple of things to keep in mind during your visit: • Drinking in Utah: Utah has the reputation of having some quirky liquor laws. However, laws have changed. Bars are now bars. Anyone 21 and over can go into a bar and order a drink (beer, wine, cocktail, etc.). Restaurants are now restaurants, the majority of which offer alcoholic beverages to complement their fare -- beer, wine, cocktails, etc. All packaged liquor, wine and full-strength beer must be purchased from a Utah state liquor store or a package agency. Beer (with 3.2% alcohol content by weight) in bottles or cans may be purchased to go at most grocery and convenience stores in Utah. There are several bars and social clubs just a few blocks away from the hotel.

  • WHAT WE ACCOMPLISHED the Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City
    WHAT WE ACCOMPLISHED The Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City 2013 ANNUAL REPORT RDA Mission Statement The mission of the Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City is to improve blighted areas of Salt Lake City, encourage economic development of Salt Lake City, encourage the development of housing for low- and moderate-income households within Salt Lake City, and encourage compliance with and implementation of Salt Lake City’s master plans. The Redevelopment Agency will participate with Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, the State of Utah and other public entities, as appropriate, to implement its mission. Dear Friends, Since 1969, the Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City (RDA) has sought to implement Salt Lake City’s development plans, enhance property values, and build community through high- quality urban design, vibrant public spaces, and incentives for private investment. By investing in infrastructure and focusing resources in the city’s redevelopment areas, the RDA has facilitated millions of dollars of private investment in Salt Lake City. One example of infrastructure investment is the Sugar House Streetcar and Greenway project, dubbed the “S-Line,” which opened in December. A true team effort, this project has worked in concert with City zoning changes and RDA loans to accelerate the eventual development of over 1,000 residential units and nearly 2 million square feet of new construction on seven sites in the Sugar House Business District. The $13 million investment by Salt Lake City and the RDA is projected to bring in an additional $400 million of private investment. This year, the City also welcomed the Utah Transit Authority’s new Airport TRAX Line.

  • Sustainable Travel Tips for NCA 104Th Annual Convention in Salt Lake City
    Sustainable Travel Tips for NCA 104th Annual Convention in Salt Lake City The Sustainability Ethic Committee of the Environmental Communication Division has compiled the following recommendations to help attendees of the NCA 104th Annual Convention keep their conference travel, food, waste, and lodging choices environmentally sustainable. Sustainable Transit Options Getting to Salt Lake City There are few alternatives to airline travel for those who live a substantial distance from Salt Lake City. However, if desired, carbon offsets can be purchased to provide funding for clean- energy initiatives in proportion to one’s estimated carbon usage. This can be purchased through your airline in many cases (look for options while completing your ticket purchase, searching the airline’s website, or asking a representative). Local Transportation TRAX TRAX is the Utah Transit Authority’s (UTA) convenient light rail system that can save conference attendees the cost of renting a car. The Green Line leaves from the south end of Terminal 1 at the Salt Lake City International Airport and can take individuals directly downtown in less than a half hour. Each trip is $2.50. TRAX is wheelchair accessible. The Gallivan Plaza station is the closest station to the Hilton, Holiday Inn Express, Hotel Monaco, and Marriott at City Center. The Temple Square station is the closest stop to the Salt Palace Convention Center and the Marriott at City Creek. The Arena station is the closest stop to the Radisson. TRAX schedules and maps can be found here and the trip planner can be found here. Various apps that integrate with UTA’s services (including a mobile ticketing app) can be found here.

Downtown Salt Lake will be the premier center for sustainable urban living, commerce, and cultural life in the Intermountain West. Downtown’s sense of purpose will be derived by its current role as the primary destination for culture and entertainment, the center of commerce, the seat of government for the State of Utah, and as an international center for a worldwide faith. Development of downtown as the center for dense urban living –comprised of housing, parks, local serving retail, and community services—will dominate downtown’s identity as a vibrant neighborhood. Downtown will offer intimate spaces, outdoor adventure, and move with a distinctive energy that reflects our culture. It will be diverse and eclectic –a creative mix of neighbors and collaborative partners committed to pioneering downtown’s future. Underscoring the whole vision is the concept that sustainable development that responds to regional ecological conditions and is supportive of local business and entrepreneurship will be accessible to all people throughout the social and economic spectrum of our community.
