Tree-lined streets have always been a signature of Holladay living, and city leaders intend to keep them thriving.

The empty lot, once home to the Video Verns store in Holladay, may finally look different at this time next year. New developers, Rockworth Companies, received approval on the development agreement and are moving forward with Holladay’s Village Center project.

With a stable rating from Standard and Poors, Holladay city officials are working toward refinancing bonds at a lower rate and gathering enough capital to build a new fire station on the property where the Holladay Community Garden currently sits.

Gathering up the mounds of donations from Holladay residents, the city’s youth council geared up for a day of volunteering at The Road Home.
