City evaluates infrastructure funding for Harvest Village and Jordanelle Ridge developments

During the recent Heber City Council meeting on May 20, 2025, significant discussions centered around the development plans for two major projects: Harvest Village and Jordanelle Ridge. These developments are poised to shape the community's infrastructure and economic landscape.

Harvest Village is set to contribute 5% of its total value towards enhanced infrastructure and public facilities, a notable contrast to Jordanelle Ridge, which will allocate 10% of its total value. This difference arises from the scale of the projects; Jordanelle Ridge is planned to encompass 6,700 residential units compared to Harvest Village's 330 units. Additionally, Harvest Village will feature 100,000 square feet of commercial space, while the commercial potential for Jordanelle Ridge remains to be determined.

The financial implications of these developments are substantial. The total infrastructure costs for Harvest Village are estimated at $30 million for 38 acres, whereas Jordanelle Ridge is projected to incur costs of $250 million over 3,000 acres. This stark contrast highlights the varying impacts these projects will have on the community's resources and infrastructure needs.

As the council continues to evaluate these developments, residents can expect ongoing discussions about how these projects will influence local services, economic growth, and community planning. The decisions made in these early stages will play a crucial role in shaping Heber City's future.
