Wasatch Front awards 13 TLC technical‑assistance projects totaling roughly $1.5M
Summary
WFRC announced 13 Transportation and Land Use Connection (TLC) awards totaling about $1.5 million in partner funding and $400,000 in local matches, selecting projects ranging from small‑area plans to ADA transition and corridor studies.
WFRC staff presented the 2025 Transportation and Land Use Connection (TLC) technical assistance awards, announcing 13 selected projects that together received approximately $1.5 million in TLC partner funding plus roughly $400,000 in local match.
Matt Ryan, community planner at WFRC, summarized the program’s purpose — linking land use, transportation and economic development — and said this cycle received 26 applications requesting about $4.2 million against an available pool just under $2.0 million. The 13 awarded projects include small‑area plans and centers (e.g., Murray Oakwood Village Center, Riverdale Stringtown, South Ogden City Center), citywide plans and ordinance updates, and contextual transportation studies (for example, 5400 South corridor work and a South Davis Greenway feasibility study).
Ryan highlighted two awards: a Millcreek ADA transition plan (a small award focused on curb ramps and sidewalk connectivity) and a Uintah general plan update done with WFRC staff support. He said the TLC program supports plan types ranging from feasibility studies and design standards to implementation strategies and ordinance assistance, and that awardees will use both partner funding and local match to advance plans and code changes.
Ryan also noted partner funding and program support from UDOT, UTA, Salt Lake County regional development, and the Governor’s Office of Planning and Budget. WFRC staff offered an interactive TLC map with application materials, award details and completed plans to help communities prepare future applications.
No formal action or vote was required at the TAC meeting; staff encouraged jurisdictions to contact WFRC for program guidance and to view the interactive map for details on each award.
