While many valleys in Utah run out of large pieces of vacant land, infill development and land reinvestment are important strategies to absorb the demands of growth. Communities leveraging infill development can benefit from manageable commuting times being closer to job centers and reduced costs due to the need for less new infrastructure. Infill development also holds potential to provide transit choices for residents, improving air quality.

The question of where and how growth unfolds is one primarily for local governments as they work with landowners. There is no one-size-fits-all.  Each community has their own distinct vision for the future, for the places they want to create and how much or little they want to enable land reinvestment to occur. The transportation agencies of the Unified Transportation Plan have coordinated this plan with those local desires for how and where growth unfolds.
