Sorting Out Findings Of Envision Utah Survey

Salt Lake Tribune

A non-profit organization has completed a study to help design how Utah should prepare for the future.  Envision Utah surveyed 53,000 residents about education, transportation, air quality, and urban development.

The survey asked residents to share opinions on 11 topics that should be addressed by the year 2050 to help create public policy as the state prepares for an estimated population increase.  Right now there are 3 million resident living here.  Within 35 years the number of people living here could nearly double.

Salt Lake Tribune reporter Matt Canham has been reporting on the survey findings.  He was a guest during Friday’s Behind the Headlines program where he outlined what Envision Utah learned from the survey.
