2020 Annual Report
ENVISION UTAH HOW WE GROW MATTERS ANNUAL REPORT | 2020 2020 HIGHLIGHTS: Quality Growth Strategy Update Your Air, Your Utah Spring Gubernatorial Candidate Forum Moderated by Doug Wright Quality Communities Academy Disaster Resilience Common Good Awards Blueprint Jordan River Early Learning USU Extension & Comunidades Unidas Valley Vision Release Education Convening & Facilitating Keynote Address by Nathaniel Hendren 1 INTRODUCTION | 2020 2020 was a momentous year for Envision Utah. It marked five years since the Your Utah, Your Future initiative brought together more than 52,000 Utahns to create a statewide vision for 2050. That means we’ve had five years of continued collaboration to make that a reality in our built environment, education, air quality, water resources, and so much more. Among our accomplishments this year, we’ve been able to finish a major visioning project, refresh one of our most important efforts, empower Utahns to improve air, help gubernatorial candidates understand Your Utah, Your Future, and engage many Utahns in education and other critical issues. Then came the terrible pandemic, economic uncertainty, and the many social and political challenges of the last year. Still, we found an optimistic resilience in many Utahns. Almost more than expected, Utahns engaged in our public processes. And our partners have been as willing as ever to collaborate and look to the future. The many challenges and events of the last year have underscored the need to have constructive conversations, find common ground, think about the long term, and work together to prepare for the future. We owe the success of our work to you—our partners and friends, community members, state leaders, and many others who have joined us to find collaborative solutions to our state’s challenges.
