Leaders of Vineyard and surrounding communities gathered with Utah transportation leaders Thursday at an empty lot in the center of the city.
While there wasn’t much to see there, that won’t be the story for much longer.
“If you know anything about Vineyard and our 10,000% growth rate, you might drive here next week and see some roads, and then a promenade, and then a building and bunch of new faces that we’ll be welcoming into this community,” said Vineyard Mayor Julie Fullmer.
Yes, much like the community itself, seemingly overnight that empty lot will become a transit hub at the center of a fast-growing city on the shore of Utah Lake.
