Just a Little Off Base

Clearfield Station has been the topic of conversation for over the past 15 years. You probably are just wanting something just to be done there. Lets give you a background and what it may look like soon.

Lets learn a little about how the storm water systems within the City and why they are important. Then we will follow up on our General Plan conversation and talk about Small Area Plans. These are used to help create a place where people want to be.

Sometimes you hear the term General Plan floating around in City Council Meetings or maybe here and there on our social media pages. But what is it? Why do Cities even have one? And Why should I care?

Do you want a place that you love going? Placemaking is the process of creating quality places that people want to live, work, play, and learn in. We will talk about what it takes to create places where people want to be.

Hello Clearfield! Have you ever wondered why the City was building that gosh darn new apartment building downtown? Well we have the answer. Follow along on this next installment as we discuss what is being built and who actually builds things.

In this episode we continue the conversation we started in Episode 2. Clearfield doesn't operate in a vacuum and the changes in the region directly effect the economic state of the City. In this episode we look at the effects that the Layton Hills Mall had on the area, and the continued residential growth that continued to happen. We dive into more directly why we have the hand that we were dealt after such major growth in the earlier decades. Spencer Brimley, Community Development Director, and Brad McIllrath, Senior Planner, help us unwrap this history of Clearfield.

Clearfield has seen a lot of growth in recent years, but lets take a minute to look back on where this all started. In this podcast we will explore Clearfield's boom years from the 1940-1970s as this relatively small town started into great expansion. In this two part episode we will explore how we got to where we are at and some of the issues that continue to make an appearance in City Government.

The decade challenge has been floating around the web in the past few weeks, so we thought for this first episode we will take you on a journey of the past ten years. A lot has happened, and still more is beginning to happen, and much of those efforts took place 10 years ago.
