Utah’s Greek Orthodox community has taken a key step toward developing a choice cluster of downtown Salt Lake City properties surrounding the Holy Trinity Cathedral for the benefit of its future generations.
In a special assembly Sunday, parishioners from Holy Trinity and Prophet Elias Church, who together make up the Greek Orthodox Church of Greater Salt Lake, gave the go-ahead for talks on partnering with Woodbury Corp. to develop as many as 5 acres around the cathedral at 279 S. 300 West.
On the now-paved lots once at the heart of the city’s Greek Town, where the early roots of countless Greek families in Utah first took hold, Woodbury sees the possibility of building a hotel, office building, apartments, retail outlets and a large park, according to church documents.
