Support for Reimagining Downtown SLC
We are at a unique moment in time where leaders from across arts and culture, meetings and conventions, government, sports, entertainment, tourism and hospitality, and business are coming together with a shared commitment to reimagining downtown Salt Lake City and what it can mean for generations to come. This project is an unparalleled opportunity to leverage Salt Lake City’s reputation as an iconic cultural gathering place — fostering unity for all Utahns and visitors from across the world.
We are both inspired by the collaborative work that Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, Smith Entertainment Group, and other stakeholders are conducting to ensure the success of the proposed Sports, Entertainment, Culture, and Convention district and also confident that progress is being made in a way that will preserve the city’s rich legacy in the arts.
We fully support the goal of reimagining and optimizing downtown Salt Lake City. It is an incredible place, and we have a chance to create an even more inspiring, compelling, connected, and successful downtown core where people come to live, work, meet, and play.
We are grateful for the opportunity to support this once-in-a-generation opportunity for Salt Lake City, and we look forward to working with the many involved stakeholders to reimagine downtown and create a space where local individuals and families, all Utahns, and visitors from around the world are welcomed to explore, connect, and celebrate.
“I firmly believe that the proposed district will be a catalytic opportunity to maximize the potential of downtown Salt Lake City, drive greater economic activity, and produce immense benefits through sports, entertainment, culture, and conventions that will create a lasting, positive impact for generations to come.”
