The Power District is an approximately 100-acre, shovel-ready site in the heart of Salt Lake City’s westside, bordered by the Jordan River and features views of the downtown skyline and the pristine Wasatch Mountains. It is readily accessible from I-80, I-215, I-15 and TRAX. The private/public partnership demonstrates the state’s ability to be ready for MLB expansion now – a unique position among cities vying for consideration.

Utah is the nation’s fastest-growing state and the number one economy. It is ideally positioned at the Crossroads of the West and is the most family-friendly state, with a strong focus on quality of life. The state has a history of hosting world-class sporting events and legacy of professional team ownership. Utah has an experienced ownership-ready group led by the Miller family and the LHM Company. 

The Power District is an approximately 100-acre site in the heart of Salt Lake City’s westside. In addition to the ballpark, the planned development will include retail, residential, commercial and entertainment venues providing a 365-day experience with year-round activation and programming. The Power District will bring affordable housing options and employment opportunities to the area.

Creating economic development around the stadium district allows investment in the State Fairpark infrastructure, which elevates its purpose and ability to support the Fairpark’s mission and to host the annual State Fair, along with other year-round events. The development continues the State Fairpark’s position as a self-sustaining state asset and catalyst for community investment.

In conjunction with the Jordan River Planning Commission, the plan proposes to elevate the health of the Jordan River by modeling water-use development and improving safety, as well as providing recreation and maintenance solutions. This investment will develop this natural asset into a gem all Utahns can be proud of and position Salt Lake as a River City.

The plan for the Power District seeks to support families, deliver amenities that reflect culture, heal perception, and strengthen connection to the rest of the city. It also aims to stimulate equitable investment in the westside and extend commercial and recreational activity, weaving the area into the greater fabric of downtown Salt Lake City.

Revitalizing the river and reactivating this part of the city will naturally result in a place that’s not only safe for families but vibrantly enjoyable for everyone. Project leaders will keep residents informed on construction plans, impact to roadways and access, as well as timelines for phased development.

Because of the private investment and support, planning and construction on the improvements to the westside, including the Power District, State Fairpark, and Jordan River parcels, can begin right away. MLB has not put a timeline on team expansion, but the shovel-ready nature of the site at the Power District will enable ballpark construction to begin immediately, as needed.
