On Wednesday, March 21, 2007, the
Final Vision of Downtown Rising was unveiled at a special meeting at the
Marriott City Center Downtown and at a News Conference on Gallivan Plaza.
Downtown Salt Lake City is on the rise!
A New "Second Century Plan"
The Salt Lake Chamber and Downtown Alliance put together a business-led, regional visioning effort to create a common blueprint for the future of Utah’s capital city. This blueprint, called Downtown Rising, is inspired by a business-led effort in the 1960s called
The Second Century Plan.
While a lot has changed since 1960, the need for visionary business leadership remains. Downtown Rising provides this leadership by convening dozens of business leaders, downtown experts and regional interests who will create common principles, concepts, themes and visuals that portray what today’s business leaders and downtown users want their downtown to be for future generations.
If you would like to know more about how this plan will be implemented, call the Salt Lake Chamber at (801) 364-3631 or email at
downtownrising@saltlakechamber.org.
Learn how Downtown Rising will help ensure that downtown Salt Lake City
remains a safe, clean, attractive, convenient, and vibrant city that serves at the heart of one of America’s most livable regions.
