In December 2020, The Point of the Mountain State Land Authority selected Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) to create a master plan for The Point. The master planning process kicked off in January and the planning team has worked hard to conduct extensive research and in-depth analyses for the site.
Because The Point is owned by all Utahns, Utahns will continue to have meaningful opportunities to participate in planning the site. To engage with the public during the master planning process, a virtual open house is scheduled for Thursday, March 18 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Attend the open house and help us Plan The Point! The results of the initial research and analyses for the master plan will be released and subject-matter experts will be available for small group discussions. Participate by visiting bit.ly/planthepoint during the scheduled meeting time.
Unable to attend? No problem! The meeting will be recorded and available on The Point YouTube Channel. Live streaming of the meeting and recordings will also be available on The Point's Facebook and Twitter accounts.

INITIAL SCOPING
The master plan process started in January. The planning team conducted a thorough site evaluation, researched its history, assessed the results of prior public input, assembled existing plans and studies of the site and surrounding areas, and performed transportation, land use and economic development modeling.
CONCEPTS DEVELOPED- WE ARE HERE!
The team has created concepts that identify different possible approaches to future development. Sophisticated analytical tools have revealed how the concepts will perform relative to key economic and quality of life measures. Public input is being seriously considered when evaluating various scenario components such as urban design, transportation and other infrastructure, parks and trails, recreation, shopping, housing, office space and much more.
PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE
After the concepts have been thoroughly vetted and the public has had a chance to weigh in, the planning team will refine them to create a preferred alternative for further public consideration. A preferred alternative may include a combination of components from all or some of the different concepts, with a goal of identifying strategies that best meet key performance goals.
FINAL PLAN
After the preferred alternative is identified and refined, the planning team will create a final master plan. The Point Master Plan will provide a framework for development, with built-in flexibility to accommodate changes in future market conditions, public input, and other variables.
