What an undeniably exciting time of possibility and potential for our city.ĭowntown Salt Lake City has not only recovered from the pandemic, but is more alive and energetic than ever. I am proud of you, Salt Lake City, and what we’ve accomplished together. A place that continues to change, while underneath it all it, staying true to itself as the city we’ve always known and loved. A place that grows with, and for the needs of its community. Woodbine… The Granary… this space is emblematic of our city - a place that is really no stranger to reinvention and evolution. Rico’s, here, and Safe Haven, across the street, were early-in lifeblood, beginning what has now become a more vibrant and active neighborhood, surrounded by a growing community of businesses, restaurants and nightlife that also contribute to the very pulse of our city.īuildings that have been here for decades, in the heart of one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods, being reinvented for our community to rediscover and enjoy anew.įrom Mozz Artisan Pizza, to 3 Cups Coffee, to the Taste of Louisiana, owner Max Coreth and local chef Zach Howa are bringing this space to life, fostering entrepreneurs in search of a foundation to grow their business.
