Weigh in today on the statewide growth conversation!

From 2010-2020, Utah ranked as the fastest-growing state in the nation, and there's no sign that growth will slow down soon. This makes sense, all of the things that make Utah a great place to call home also make it grow, which can bring some challenges. That's why Envision Utah has been traveling across the state, in partnership with the state of Utah, to talk about guiding the future of that growth.

Our growth impacts every Utahn, which means growth decisions aren't easy. That's where YOU come in.

We want to hear what you think is working, what's not, and what big moves Utahns can make to create the future we want.

Click the button above to take the Guiding Our Growth Survey and help Utahns understand the effects of growth decisions, empower us to own our future, and prepare decision-makers to implement effective strategies. 

Thanks to everyone who made our Vroom Breakfast such a success!

Thank you to everyone who attended our Vroom + Waffles Breakfast!

Together with the wonderful people at Help Me Grow Utah and the Salt Lake County Library System, we were thrilled to put on this wonderful event to help connect with parents and families around the state to share the importance of early brain development and Vroom as an incredible brain-building tool.

We heard from some fantastic early childhood experts, as well as Utah's First Lade Abby Cox about her thought on the importance of early childhood learning for Utah kids!

Daily Herald

An Envision Utah survey that focused on the perceptions of higher education of more than 6,000 students from 8th to 12th grade was the focus of the latest research and policy brief by the Utah Women & Leadership Project. Some of the findings indicate that more female students have postsecondary plans, and that young women are more concerned about school debt than young men.

News @ UVU

Leaders in Utah Valley business, civics, and education gathered for the second annual Utah Valley Growth and Prosperity Summit, which featured the presentation of Envision Utah and the Association of Utah County Chamber’s award-winning plan called Utah Valley Vision for 2050. The vision focuses on some of the growing pains that accompany rapid growth, top priorities and concerns of Utah Valley residents, and how those concerns can be addressed.

The Salt Lake Tribune

The latest efforts to eliminate barriers to housing come as Utahns are struggling as never before with the effects of growth, according to a 2021 survey. Envision Utah has polled statewide sentiment on growth four times in the past 25 years. Today Residents worry about traffic, congestion, safety and loss of open space. The state also faces a deep divide in views held by rural residents and those living along the Wasatch Front.

For 25 years, Envision Utah has brought Utahns together to tackle some of the biggest challenges related to growth — and you have made that happen. But whether we’re talking about air quality, water use, transportation, education, disaster resilience, or a host of other issues, there’s more work to be done. When you support Envision Utah, you’re helping to create a bright future for our state.

Thank you for your support!
