Sugar House Community Council Newsletter

February 2012

Dear Friends of Sugar House:

This edition offers the 2nd installment for a series of articles that will focus on the history of Sugar House. This month is the 2nd article detailing the history of the Sugar House Monument. As we look to shape the next phase of the business district a look back at our history seemed appropriate. We hope you enjoy.

This newsletter is intended to help keep you informed of the many events, activities and developments occurring in Sugar House. If you have questions, ideas or suggestions please send us an email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

A roadmap to Sugar House development

Have you visited the website for the Sugar House Community Council recently?

If you haven’t, you’re missing out.

Amy Barry and Judi Short - both Sugar House Community Council vice-chairs - have worked in partnership to create the brand spankin’ new SHCC Development Map.

The map is available on the SHCC homepage at www.sugarhousecouncil.com; just scroll down to the section right below the logo.

The goal of the SHCC Development Map is to track and display for members of the public exactly what developments are planned for the Sugar House area.

For instance, are you wondering what’s happening with the Mecham property at Sugar House Loop? Simply launch the map and click on the pin that appears at the intersection of 2100 South and Highland Drive, and you will see a brief description of the property:

“Mixed Use 44,000 SF retail, apts with underground parking”

You will also note the following status update:

“Financing approved, construction to begin on moving the canal Jan/Feb 2012”

This is great news, and we look forward to seeing construction proceed on this vital Sugar House corner.

If you click on the pin at 2080 S. View Street, you will also notice that construction is about to begin on a development called “21&View” - 29 apartments and 3 retails spaces, being developed by Rinaldo Hunt.

Sugar House is growing and changing, and that’s exactly why the map was created - to ensure that when it comes to Sugar House Development, we’re all on the same page.

Please check out the development map, and let us know what you think on our Facebook page.

Sincerely,

Christopher Thomas

Chair
