Lots of empty lots: Developed, vacant parcels for homes go begging along Wasatch Front

Herriman (Salt Lake Tribune) » At one time, these quarter-acre lots in a quiet neighborhood with a community pool and playground were a home buyer's dream.

They are among nearly 6,000 vacant single-family lots in Salt Lake County that are not being built on despite the fact many have the improvements such as roads, utilities and sidewalks needed to erect a home tomorrow. There are another 12,000 or so in Utah and Davis counties.
