strategic priorities of creating a safe community, delivering reliable public infrastructure, providing desirable amenities & open space, fostering economic development, engaging the community, representing responsible governance, balancing the regulatory environment, and ensuring sustainable growth.
The report reflects achievements both large and small—some were years in the making, others were completed this year, and some remain ongoing as we work through 2025 and beyond.

DAWN R. RAMSEY
Mayor
Reflecting on this past year, I am filled with pride for all that our city has achieved together. South Jordan is thriving, thanks to the dedication of our residents, city staff, and leadership. In 2024, we held our very first State of the City event, which featured conversations with key stakeholders and lawmakers that revealed a clear and positive future for our city. It was an honor to connect with so many of you and highlight our city’s and my own personal commitment to building a bright future.
In addition to this milestone, I had the privilege of launching a special two-part economic development video series. The first part we’ve called “Dine with Dawn, where I’ve enjoyed showcasing some of South Jordan’s amazing local restaurants. And the second features non-food brick-and-mortar businesses. Supporting our businesses is essential to our city’s growth and economic vitality, and I encourage all residents to shop local (#shopsojo) and explore the vibrant options right here in our community.
We’ve seen remarkable developments in South Jordan this year,
from our Healthy Utah Community designation—thanks to initiatives like the Farmers Market and the SoJo Race Series—to the rebranding of the Gale Museum, which offers free, family-friendly, interactive experiences. Our arts programs have flourished, with the South Jordan Arts Council bringing two theatrical productions to life. I personally had the pleasure of narrating Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and seeing the talent in our community was truly inspiring.
South Jordan’s emphasis on health and outdoor recreation is evident in projects like the Bingham Creek Trail extension. I was pleased to host U.S. Congressmen John Curtis and Burgess Owens as they visited to see the trail, which will connect to other key trails, expanding access for biking, walking, and more. Other major improvements, such as the 9800 South Bangerter interchange, the Shields Lane study for active transportation, and the U-111 realignment, will enhance mobility, safety, and accessibility for all our residents.
Exciting developments are on the horizon, including the construction of the new Bees Ballpark and the
USU Bastian Center. These projects will bring family-friendly entertain ment, economic opportunities, and a unique educational asset to our community, further improving our quality of life.
For our senior residents, programs at the South Jordan Community Center, like Generation Day and the Senior Health & Wellness Fair, have continued to bring our community closer together and supporting all ages in living healthy, active lives.

DONALD J. SHELTON -
DISTRICT 3
Asyour Council Member, I’m dedicated to ensuring a bright future for South Jordan. This year, I was proud to support the Pure SoJo water purification initiative, a vital project securing our water future. The program has gained attention, with tours increasing as schools and community groups learn about its potential impact.
Bingham Creek Regional Park hosted programming on its new fields, including our own SoJo Soccer League, while progress on the Bingham Creek Trail now connects the park to Bingham Rim Road, expanding access to our city’s natural beauty. The 9800 South interchange project is ongoing, but the pedestrian bridge is complete,
making much-needed pedestrian routes available again.
I toured two major developments this year—the USU Bastian Center and the Bees Ballpark—both bringing educational, economic, and entertainment opportunities to our community. As liaison to the Senior Advisory Committee, I’m proud to see our senior programs thrive, offering enriching events and resources.
From vibrant citywide events to innovative projects, South Jordan is moving forward, and I’m honored to be part of it. Thank you for your support, District 3. Together, we’re building a positive future.
TAMARA ZANDER - DISTRICT 4
As the representative of South Jordan’s largest and fastestgrowing district, I’m committed to ensuring your voices are heard and that you feel connected to our city. To our new residents, I encourage you to attend City Council meetings and stay engaged with the qualities that make South Jordan special.
This year, I toured two exciting developments: the Bees Ballpark and USU Bastian Center. These projects will bring amenities, opportunities, and experiences that enhance our quality of life and boost economic growth.

JASON T. MCGUIRE
Representing the residents of District 5 is an honor. In addition to regular City Council responsibilities, I represent the city on the Utah League of Cities and Towns Legislative Policy Committee (LPC) and as the City Council liaison to the South Jordan Arts Council. Serving on LPC allows me to weigh in on state legislative issues to ensure your vision for our city and state is heard. As the liaison to the South Jordan Arts Council, I was thrilled that, once again, we were able to partner with Sandbox Theatre and offer two fantastic shows filled with local talent—Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Blithe Spirit. And in 2025, you can “bet your bottom dollar” that “the sun’ll come out” for even more amazing shows!
South Jordan’s art scene extends beyond the theater with events like the Annual Art Show, Art on the Towne, and the crowd-pleasing Killer Keyz Dueling Pianos. Additionally, the Arts Council commissioned new
utility box wraps and a mural along the Jordan River Trail near Mulligans.
This year also brought the rebranding of the Gale Center as the Gale Museum. The rebranding enhances the Gale Museum’s role as a familyfriendly, interactive, and historical space that’s free for all to enjoy.
Thank you for being part of what makes District 5 truly exceptional. I’m honored to serve you and look forward to working together to build an even more vibrant community.
“In 2024, South Jordan continued to thrive through smart growth and innovation, but most of all through our engaged community members who remain committed to our city’s future success.”
