A new vision for State Street in Murray being studied

(Murray Journal) Imagine a rejuvenated State Street running through Murray, with new buildings and modern street posts, outside dining and a bus rapid transit system. In addition to the sprawling medical plaza, Intermountain Medical Center, the look and feel of Murray could be changing. City officials would like to see this vision a reality.

“There are areas [along State Street] that are terribly underutilized,” said Tim Tingey, economic development director. “We know there’s an appetite for change; we hope to hear from business owners and residents and look for areas to explore possibilities.”

The city’s community economic development department hosted a workshop on July 9 at Murray High School and invited community members, city council members, the city planning commission and the board of adjustment members to attend. The goal was to receive feedback on how the community would like to see State Street revitalized.
