Thank you to everyone who attended Envision Utah's 2022 Spring Breakfast — after two years of virtual events, we loved being back in person with everyone!

This year we enjoyed a delicious breakfast as we heard from our keynote speaker, Ali Wolf, Chief Economist for Zonda. Ali's address focused on one of the most pressing issues facing our state: the future of housing in Utah. 

Following her remarks, Ali sat down with Taylor Mammen, CEO of RCLCO, for a fireside chat and Q&A with the audience.

The discussion covered topics including: 

• The economic backdrop of today's housing market
• How the marketplace is shifting, even in just the last few weeks
• What the current buyer pool looks like and who has been driving the housing market
• The risks and opportunities in today's market
• The main challenges of affordable housing
• The role short-term rentals play in Utah's housing landscape
• And more!

We're so grateful to all of our sponsors who made this event possible. We'd also like to extend a special thank you to Ali Wolf for lending her expertise to an important discussion!

Use the Utah Division of Water Resources lawn watering guide to conserve water this summer!

Weekly Lawn Watering Guide created by the Utah Division of Water Resources.

As we move into the summer months and start to feel the heat (and drought), it's more important than ever that every Utahn thinks about water and the steps we can each take for better conservation.

One easy step: reducing the amount we water our yards and ensuring we're watering as efficiently as possible. 

According to the Utah Division of Water Resources, eliminating one watering session can save about 3,000 gallons for the average quarter-acre Utah yard. 

The Utah Division of Water Resources publishes weekly watering guides for Utahns. The Guide considers data such as weather patterns and evapotranspiration rates to quantify how many days per week residents in each county should water their lawns. Check back weekly to see if conditions have changed in your county. That way we can all make sure our watering habits are efficient to help save water!
