Major commercial and residential projects: Nordstrom Rack, Megaplex, Tech Ridge, Freddy's, new housing developments, airport expansion, I-15 underpasses, inland port partnership with Washington City (320-acre project area). Long Farm Village approved with new restaurants. School leaders concerned about inland port impacts on education funding. Washington County partners with Virgin River Land Trust for open space preservation. Housing affordability remains key issue.
