Heber City approves 600 new apartment units with retail near Smith's

The Wasatch County School Board meeting on May 27, 2025, highlighted significant developments in local housing and retail projects. Key discussions centered around the approval of a new Smith's grocery store and the construction of 600 apartment units in the area.

The meeting revealed that the southern half of the project will feature the newly opened Smith's, along with additional retail spaces. Construction is already underway for the first building, which will include popular tenants like Jersey Mike's. This development aims to enhance local amenities and provide residents with more shopping options.

On the northern side of the project, plans are in place for 600 multifamily units, with approximately 270 units designated for the southern side, just east of the Smith's location. The board discussed maximizing rental units in this area, referring to the project as "Station 7."

These developments are expected to significantly impact the community by increasing housing availability and improving local retail offerings. The board's approval process with Heber City is ongoing, indicating that further updates on these projects will be forthcoming.
