West Valley City • Wearing hard hats and wielding golden shovels Tuesday afternoon, West Valley City leaders set in motion the next phase of a 40-acre mixed-use urban development project that has been planned for nearly 20 years.
“This will change the face of West Valley City,” Mayor Ron Bigelow said at an event before the ceremonial groundbreaking of Fairbourne Station. He noted that West Valley City has been a “bedroom community,” with lots of suburban and agricultural spaces but no downtown center.
The office space at Fairbourne Station is expected to be completed in 2019, and construction is scheduled to begin early next month.
