Herriman preview: new restaurants, retail and Juniper Crest Road extension among economic updates
Summary
Podcast hosts highlighted local economic development: Jack in the Box and Cheddar’s will open, a mixed-use development may include Trader Joe’s and Target, and the Juniper Crest Road extension is slated to connect to Mountain View Corridor (developer to build extension; city will widen and install lights).
Herriman city hosts used the podcast to summarize recent economic-development updates and a capital-project timeline discussed at the city’s work meeting.
Economic development staff reported multiple retail prospects. Hosts said Jack in the Box has purchased property near an existing restaurant (Garage Grill), Cheddar’s will join the commons project, and economic development staff listed “47 others” being tracked. A social-media resident named Jasmine was singled out after noting she had wanted Trader Joe’s, Target and Cheddar’s; hosts said all three are coming to the same development.
On capital projects, the Juniper Crest Road extension was a focus. The hosts described a plan for Juniper Crest to connect to Mountain View Corridor with the city budgeting to widen the intersection and install a traffic signal; the road extension from its current end to the intersection is the developer’s responsibility. Targets mentioned for construction were July to late summer of the following year, though speakers cautioned timelines have shifted in the past.
Hosts noted construction sequencing will be affected by winter constraints (asphalt plants and paving delays) and said earthwork was already underway but paving must wait for warmer weather. They encouraged residents to watch the full work meeting for additional details and thanked economic development staff for their work recruiting businesses.
No formal votes, incentive packages, zoning ordinances or contract awards were described in detail on the podcast; hosts described activity in summary form and directed listeners to council meeting materials for specifics.
