Study reveals explosive housing growth in Tooele Valley
A recent government meeting highlighted significant growth projections for the Tooele Valley and Wendover areas, based on a study from the Kem C. Gardner Institute. The study, completed two years ago, anticipates a staggering 112% increase in population over the next 50 years, with a focus on housing developments.

Key areas identified for growth include Wendover, where over 245 new homes are projected, particularly around Wendover High School. On the Utah side, the Grantsville area is expected to see the most substantial increase, with plans for more than 8,000 new housing units. Tooele City is also set for significant expansion, especially along its eastern and western sides, while the Erda area anticipates at least 2,000 new homes. Additionally, Stansbury Park is projected to add over 1,000 homes.

The meeting emphasized the importance of proactive planning to accommodate this rapid growth. Officials discussed the need for a strategic approach to manage the anticipated demand on schools and infrastructure, outlining a timeline for implementation over the next 5, 10, and 15 years. The discussions underscored the necessity for the district to adapt to these changes, as the growth is inevitable, regardless of community sentiment.
