Get ready for Salt Lake, because Salt Lake is preparing for you! The city’s 180,000
residents have seen many newcomers enter the city limits of Salt Lake since rapid
population growth was noted in 2005. In response, Salt Lake City developers plan
to double the number of residential units in the central business district. Several
agency developers have plans to construct condominium towers and apartment complexes
in downtown areas like Gateway, Trolley Square, and Library Square. Plans to construct
two large office buildings to support the expanding economy are also in progress.
Though Salt Lake City is home to the headquarters of The Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints and widely-known as a Mormon state, don’t be surprised to find
a city brimming with religious diversity.
Salt Lake can’t hide its deep interest in film. Portions of the Sundance Film Festival
bring cultural icons, celebrities, and thousands of film buffs to Salt Lake each
year. Additionally, hit movies and television series such as High School Musical
I and II, Dumb and Dumber, Independence Day, Touched By An Angel, and Everwood were
filmed in Salt Lake. The city hosts Friday Night Flicks, a summer program that screens
movies in city parks each week, free of charge.
Hosting the 2002 Winter Olympics brought international attention to winter sport
locations near Salt Lake City. Eight ski resorts lie within fifty miles of Salt
Lake, and the Utah Olympic Park near Park City still holds the Olympic ski jumps
and bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton runs used by world-class athletes from around
the planet. Olympic Park now hosts sport competitions and training sessions year-round.
