Thank you again for your interest in the site selection of the proposed Public Safety Complex for Salt Lake City. Last week, I announced that Library Square is no longer an option as a location for a new Public Safety Building and Emergency Operations Center. As part of our ongoing commitment to make Salt Lake City one of the most open and transparent governments in Utah, the Mayor’s Office, in collaboration with the Salt Lake City Council, will be continuing opportunities for the public to offer input on the proposed locations for a new Public Safety Complex. I have sought continued input from a number of experts in urban design, and I am confident that our objectives and values for site selection fully align with the public input we have received.
During the month of June, the Mayor’s Office will hold a series of Open Houses to give you an opportunity to review and comment on proposed site locations and learn about the criteria and steps used in the selection process. I encourage you to attend an Open House or send us your input.
