City Council approves $250,000 for Cox Auditorium upgrades and $1.06 million roundabout project

The St. George City Council meeting on June 19, 2025, highlighted significant budget amendments aimed at enhancing community facilities and traffic management.

Key among the discussions was a request from the Parks and Community Services Department for a $250,000 budget amendment to support upgrades to the Cox Auditorium. This funding, sourced from the RAP tax fund, is intended to improve the venue for performing arts, thereby enriching community cultural offerings.

Additionally, the Public Works Department proposed a budget amendment of $1,060,487 for the installation of a roundabout on Cloud Drive, a project backed by a contribution from Tech Ridge. This roundabout, approved as part of the consent agenda, follows a traffic analysis that deemed it a necessary enhancement for the area.

The council opened the floor for public comments, inviting community members to engage with the proposed amendments. One resident inquired about accessing meeting details online, highlighting the city's commitment to transparency and public involvement.

As the council prepares to finalize these budget amendments, the anticipated upgrades and infrastructure improvements promise to significantly benefit the St. George community.
