WFRC announces nearly $1.8M in TLC awards; seven Salt Lake‑area projects funded
Summary
WFRC said the 2026 TLC program awarded 15 projects regionwide (about $1.8 million total), including seven Salt Lake urban‑area projects (roughly $850,000). Awarded scopes include small‑area plans, master plans, zoning updates, feasibility studies and active‑transportation connections.
Byron Head, community planner at WFRC, presented the Wasatch Front Regional Council’s Transportation and Land Use Connection (TLC) awards for the Salt Lake urban area and region.
Head said the program funded 15 projects regionwide totaling almost $1.8 million, with seven projects in the Salt Lake urban area totaling about $850,000. City‑level grant recipients and scopes in the Salt Lake area include Copperton (small‑area plans for an old high‑school site and annexation area), Draper (transportation master plan and impact fee facilities plan), Holiday (citywide zoning ordinance update and small‑center application shared with Mill Creek), Magna (SR‑201 Research Park small‑area plan including workforce housing ideas), Midvale (general plan land‑use element update with zoning recommendations), Mill Creek (feasibility study for crossing I‑215 to reconnect severed neighborhoods), and Alta (general plan update tied to expected transit stop improvements and water/sewer coordination).
Head said the TLC program supports projects ranging from 30‑year general plans to implementation guides and design guidelines, and encourages prospective applicants to prepare letters of intent ahead of the next application cycle in five months.
No formal votes or policy decisions were made; staff indicated follow‑up communications will include project budget breakdowns and contacts for each funded project.
