Saratoga Springs Mayor’s Message
Our beautiful mountain and lakefront community in the City of Saratoga Springs is continuing to grow in a smart and proactive manner to balance residential growth, attract commercial businesses and provide enhanced public amenities and recreational programs.
Construction of the city’s new Public Safety Building for police and court was completed at the start of 2020. This beautiful new facility sits directly adjacent to Patriot Park and is the first phase of a 26-acre municipal campus which will eventually include a new library, city hall and other amenities. With existing parks, Patriot Park, the municipal campus and land options, the city is looking at the potential for a 150-acre central park and municipal campus with the grandest views of Utah Lake and Mt. Timpanogos in the valley.

During the last year, multiple transportation improvements in Saratoga Springs were also completed, such as the widening of Redwood Road and the Continuous Flow Intersection at Redwood Road and Pioneer Crossing. Both of these projects have provided great relief to east-west congestion as well as north-south traffic through the City of Saratoga Springs.
In addition to Redwood Road, the Utah Department of Transportation finished the Mountain View Corridor connection from SR-73 to 2100 North and I-15. This connection is the first phase of a multi-faceted interchange that will provide a whole new means of transportation to alleviate congestion through Saratoga Springs and provide a long-overdue alternate route to the bottleneck on I-15.
This growth is continuing to attract wonderful developments in our community, such the new Lake Mountain Middle School, the Saratoga Springs Utah Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and several exciting new commercial developments. Some of these commercial projects include huge announcements like Costco. This anchor project is moving fast and on track for completion this summer of 2020. Costco alone has generated an increased outpouring of interest from a variety of other businesses that are excited to be in the City of Saratoga Springs.
We look forward to welcoming these and many new businesses to our community as well as what the future brings for all of us.
Mayor Jim Miller City of Saratoga Springs
