Utah is growing and we need to come together as Utahns to talk about guiding our growth. Join the conversation.
It has been more than six years since Envision Utah completed the statewide vision, Your Utah Your Future. From 2010-2020, Utah ranked as the fastest-growing state in the nation, and there's no sign that growth will slow down soon. As one of the fastest-growing states in the nation, pressures on home prices and a deep housing shortage seem to have raised growth concerns to an all-time high.
With over sixty-three percent of Utahns feeling like we're growing too quickly, Envision Utah, working with the Governor’s Office of Planning and Budget, and other partners, are engaging in a statewide conversation about growth. Utahns across the state need to have a voice to share how growth is affecting their communities.

Throughout 2022, Envision Utah traveled extensively throughout Utah to engage communities in a conversation about growth. Asking questions such as, what do you love about your community and want to preserve? And looking out 20 years, what are your communities’ greatest challenges? With the result being where does the state invest resources, and what policies need to be addressed to protect the quality-of-life Utahns have come to know and appreciate? To date, we have had conversations with over 30 different communities and organizations around the state and have engaged thousands of Utahns.
The goal of these conversations is to help Utahns understand the effects of growth decisions, empower us to own our future, and prepare decision-makers to implement effective strategies.
