Logan City asks for state loan to acquire property for trail connection to USU
Summary
Logan City requested a state loan (not a grant) to buy parcels that would complete a trail connection to Utah State University, saying the acquisition supports connectivity, housing adjacency and regional recreation priorities and that the city will negotiate repayment terms.
A Logan City representative told the subcommittee that the city is negotiating to buy privately held parcels that are key to completing a trail network connecting neighborhoods, schools, downtown and Utah State University. Representative Thompson said Logan is requesting a loan rather than a grant and is prepared to work with the state on repayment terms and structure.
City officials said acquiring the land will enable a continuous trail corridor, improve walkability to campus and create residual land suited to mixed‑use redevelopment that could support student housing. Members suggested looking at active transportation funding sources (ATIF), the Capital Improvement Bond (CIB) loan program and the Outdoor Recreation Fund as potential funding alternatives; presenters said they will explore those options and follow up with the committee.
