Hotel permit ready, developers courting Payson; UDOT interchange bidding expected this year
Summary
Development Services Director Jill Spencer reported the hotel building permit is ready, multiple fast‑food and grocery inquiries exist, Redbridge is attracting commercial interest, and light industrial tenants are committed; Robert Mills and Mayor Wright said UDOT bidding likely this year with construction starting in 2027 and design work still needed.
Development Services Director Jill Spencer told the board that the building permit for a hotel is ready and that commercial interest has increased, including inquiries from fast‑food chains and a potential grocery store. Spencer said Redbridge is receiving significant commercial interest and MTech has begun construction on a cosmetology building; several light‑industrial buildings in the area have firm tenants.
Mayor William R. Wright and Assistant City Manager Robert Mills told the board that UDOT bidding for the planned interchange will likely take place this year, with construction anticipated to begin in 2027 once design documents are completed. Wright also reported he discussed federal funding and program integrity during a recent trip to Washington, D.C., and said Senator Lee supports a Utah Valley University satellite campus coming to Payson.
Board members noted interest from brokers for national chain restaurants and discussed what types of housing are needed for the workforce. No formal land-sale approvals or construction starts were reported during the Feb. 11 meeting beyond the MTech cosmetology building already under construction.
