The 2021 Common Good Awards are just around the corner!
Once a year Envision Utah hosts the Common Good Awards to recognize individuals and organizations doing great things to help make our communities a better place to call home.

This year we'll be joined by special guest, Representative John Curtis for a discussion focused on climate stewardship and clean air solutions in Utahsomething more relevant than ever as drought and wildfires continue to affect our state. We will also be discussing groundbreaking climate solutions that we can incorporate as a state as we look towards a sustainable future.

We normally love to get together to mix and mingle in person, but due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we've decided it's best to host our event online.

Keep an eye on your inbox for the official invite to buy your ticket and save your spot. (Oh, and did we mention you'll also get a Door Dash code for lunch? 🤩)

Why not in my backyard? Understanding resident perspectives on housing development
Utahns generally recognize the need to build more housing, but when it comes to adding new units in their city or neighborhood some become…less enthusiastic. At this session you will learn more about Utahns’ attitudes towards growth, the rationale behind neighborhood opposition, and how to talk about housing development in a way that resonates with residents.

Where, How, & How Much Should Utah Grow?
Growth is a hot topic! Utah has been the fastest growing state in the last 10 years. Looking ahead where does growth make the most sense? What form should it take? Can we control the overall amount of growth? This session will explore the tradeoffs inherent in how we all answer these questions. The session will draw upon findings from planning efforts across the state.

Like all of you, we’re worried about keeping ourselves and our families healthy, and we’re concerned about both the short- and long-term impacts of the current pandemic. But thanks to your generous support, we’re also able to remain focused on other critical long-term issues like air quality, water, land use & transportation, education, disaster resilience, and more. Thank you for your support!
