What if a city could grow without losing what made it great in the first place? That’s exactly what’s happening in Sandy, Utah. With a new NHL training facility under construction, over 400 new housing units in the works, and plans for a pedestrian bridge connecting to FrontRunner, Sandy is embracing bold development.In this City Spotlight episode, we sat down with Mayor Monica Zoltanski to hear firsthand how the city is managing growth with intention. One of the most important takeaways? While Sandy supports higher-density development, the city is not placing it in established single-family neighborhoods. Instead, the focus is on targeted areas like The Cairns District, where housing, transit, and commercial space are thoughtfully integrated. This includes plans for attainable housing homes that teachers, city employees, and first-time buyers can realistically afford.From infrastructure upgrades and a new fire station to community-led planning and long-term vision, Sandy is preparing for the future while preserving the character that makes it home.
