Concerns over the proposed 60-bed assisted living facility dominated discussions at the Logan Municipal Council meeting on September 16, 2025. One council member expressed skepticism about the feasibility of fitting such a large number of beds into a limited space, questioning the design and practicality of the project. "How can you fit 60 beds in there? Stacking beds, stacking bodies, you know, type of thing," they remarked, highlighting worries about the quality of care and living conditions for future residents.
The council member's concerns were echoed by others who emphasized the need for thoughtful planning in the community. The discussion underscored a broader debate about balancing development with the well-being of residents, particularly in terms of providing adequate living spaces for seniors.
In contrast, another resident, Linda Johnson, shared her support for the project, noting its potential to enhance community living. Johnson, who has lived in Cache Valley for three and a half years, highlighted the importance of creating a welcoming environment for all ages. She praised the developers' plans for short-term rentals and accessibility, suggesting that these features could benefit both residents and visitors.
The council indicated that further discussions would take place during the planning commission's review of the facility's design, allowing for additional community input. As the project moves forward, the council will need to address the concerns raised while also considering the potential benefits of the development for the Logan community.
