Herriman announces $50 million west‑end infrastructure award tied to affordability requirements
Summary
Council chair announced Herriman secured a $50 million infrastructure award for the city's west end; the funding is tied to an affordability component that the chair said requires a minimum number of below‑market units, though the precise AMI threshold was not specified.
Herriman announced on March 11 that the city was awarded $50,000,000 for infrastructure improvements in its west end, a council leader told the City Council.
“We were, successfully awarded $50,000,000 for some infrastructure in the West end of the city,” the presiding chair said, listing Herriman Boulevard, Bacchus Highway and Olympia Boulevard among the planned beneficiaries. The chair said the package will also improve a complex intersection in the area.
The chair told the council the award includes an affordability component tied to a per‑unit funding figure and a minimum number of affordable units. “It’s tied to an affordability component within it where because there’s 20,000 per unit, so now they have to build 2,500 units minimum right now that are below… the AMI or something like that,” the chair said; the council meeting transcript did not record a precise area median income threshold.
City staff and council members said the funding will be significant for road and intersection work in the west end and thanked staff who tracked the legislative and grant process. No detailed project list, timeline or implementing department was announced at the meeting.
The council did not take further formal action on the award during the March 11 session; it moved on to other business, including a scheduled presentation by the South Valley Chamber and routine consent items. Future council materials or staff reports are expected to provide project scope, timelines, departmental assignments and any matching or regulatory requirements.
At the end of the meeting the chair noted ongoing events and next steps for council business but did not specify a public comment period or a hearing date for the grant‑funded projects.
