Community and Economic Development

Salt Lake County helps neighborhoods thrive by awarding federal Community Development Block Grant money to non-profit and governmental agencies for improvements such as:

  • community facilities and senior centers
  • parks and playgrounds
  • streets and sidewalks
  • water and sewer systems

 These funds can also be used for social services such as:

  • day care
  • counseling
  • youth center operations
  • medical services
  • domestic violence programs
  • elderly services
  • legal services
  • economic development and job creation

Funding is intended to assist residents at or below 80% of the
area median income.

Salt Lake County's Economic Development Department also supports existing business and encourages new enterprise.

It is complimented by the County's Redevelopment Agency.
