News Flash

Since February, the 4th Wednesday of every month has been reserved for “You MAKE Ogden” public engagement events, hosted by Ogden City Economic Development staff, inside historic Ogden Union Station. These educational opportunities and discussions highlight the overall downtown development plan, known as MAKE Ogden, unanimously approved by the Ogden City Council in 2020. This comprehensive plan includes details on Episodic events aimed at catalyzing development in downtown Ogden through projects like WonderBlock, Union Station Neighborhood, and Electric Alley. MAKE Ogden also details housing goals, design standards, growth framework, metrics, and much more. “You MAKE Ogden” is an opportunity to talk with city staff face-to-face, hear updates, ask questions, and provide feedback. The 7th “You MAKE Ogden” event will offer an informal open house format and is set for September 27th from 5:30-7:00 pm.

As mentioned, Union Station Neighborhood is a piece of the MAKE Ogden framework. Development partners J. Fisher Companies and McWhinney, two companies selected to refresh and redevelop the Union Station Neighborhood, host their own community conversations to provide community members the opportunity to speak directly to the project developers. The September 20th Union Station Neighborhood conversation will focus on the theme – “A Day in The Life” - asking residents to detail what they hope to see at Union Station.
