Clearfield High School students will continue using part of Fisher Park's parking lot during school hours while the school finishes campus construction, while the city gains winter access to school gymnasiums.
Wilcox Farms Subdivision Development Agreement Amendment
Proposed changes to the Wilcox Farms subdivision will set stricter garage parking dimensions and rules for how home plans are distributed across the 101 lots. These updates affect future neighborhood aesthetics and parking availability.
Transit-oriented Development
Clearfield is partnering with UTA to turn the area around the FrontRunner station into a walkable hub filled with new apartments, offices, and shops. It’s a big move to make commuting easier and give the city a more modern, connected downtown feel.
Housing Affordability
Clearfield’s housing market is getting so expensive that local Air Force personnel can’t afford to live here anymore. This is creating a major staffing headache for the base and forcing city leaders to finally look at building more affordable options.
