5400 South Corridor Study
Kearns City held an open house to discuss future planning, traffic, and development along the 5400 South corridor.
Tax Ballot Initiative
Utah voters are weighing Amendment B, a ballot measure that raises the bar for local tax hikes from a simple majority to a 60% supermajority. If it passes, it will be significantly harder for citizen-led tax proposals to become reality in Kearns and across the state.
Data Center Development
Residents in Kearns and across Utah are pushing back against the massive boom of neighborhood data centers, arguing local leaders dropped the ball on regulation. You can expect a lot more public showdowns as communities demand tighter rules on these giant tech hubs.
Municipal Code Modernization
The city council updated and consolidated major portions of the Kearns Municipal Code, including administrative, financial, and personnel policies, to transition away from outdated county codes.
New Engineering Standards for Infrastructure
City engineers provided updates on ongoing sidewalk repairs, pedestrian ramps, and upcoming cooperative wall construction projects along major corridors.
