A significant development proposal took center stage at the Murray City government meeting on June 5, 2025, as Tyler Morris from Cottonwood Residential presented plans for a new mixed-use project. The proposal includes a commercial building, townhomes, and garden-style apartments, marking a pivotal step in the city’s master site plan.

Morris outlined the project, which consists of a 10,000 square foot commercial building, 76 townhomes, and 350 garden-style apartments across multiple lots. He emphasized the intention to sell the townhomes to owner-occupants rather than renting them, which he believes will enhance community care and investment in the properties. "We think someone will care for it better that way," Morris stated, highlighting the shift towards owner-occupied housing in the area.

The plan also includes a 70-unit podium building, with the overall goal of creating a balanced mix of residential and commercial spaces. Morris noted that while the specifics may evolve, the current structure aims to provide a diverse housing option for the community.

Following the presentation, the meeting opened for public comments, inviting community members to share their thoughts on the proposed development. This project represents a significant investment in Murray City, aiming to enhance local infrastructure and housing availability while fostering a sense of ownership among residents. The next steps will involve further discussions and community feedback as the proposal moves forward.
