Summer discussion series by Building Salt Lake and The Shop to debut Wed noon
‘Preserving Historic Salt Lake’ the topic
How can we grow our city and preserve its soul?
The recent loss of ‘naturally occurring’ affordable housing and legacy retail businesses have heightened Salt Lakers’ sensitivity to the need to preserve historic spaces and places.
When a once beautiful 100 year old house that’s been a neglected office space for 20 years gets demolished, what do we lose? What about a highly crafted church building that once housed restaurants, where the property owner can add 150 apartment units by right?

Preserving our historic places and spaces feels like the right thing to do, but it happens less than it probably should. How can we grow our city and preserve its soul?
