We moved a lot. I was always amazed at the people getting mad about people moving in and ‘ruining ‘ their town and building homes. Not once in 14 moves were these people ‘originals’. They had all moved from somewhere else. It’s ok for THEM to crowd in, just not us
You bet! No Sprouts has signed in River Crossing on River Rd next to Summit. I mentioned that in a video a couple weeks ago called GW Blvd/River Rd if you scroll back a little bit on my channel
Its not that there are new businesses, its that there are businesses closing, then another come in to just go out of business in a couple of years. We need more businesses to stay open and become staples to the area.
ye because it was a paradise when the whole county looked like a trailer park? if anything it gets better and better everyday and has a LONG way to go. if you don't like it you can move.
Thank you for all you're video updates! I am amazed at the growth there, is the current population enough to support all these new businesses? Or depending on future growth? My wife and I are seriously considering relocating to St George, possibly by March 2025
you definitely should. there are about 210,000 people in the metropolitan area and 109,000 in St. George itself. in fact we could use many more business. also we'd love to have you. don't let anyone convince you otherwise.
There's really not that many new businesses tbh. I mean still nothing real exciting downtown other than a handful of small shops and a whopping 2-story office building next to the Electric LOL. Downtown remains very slow to develop, especially vertically. Back when the Jewel Plaza and City View projects were built, I thought that was gonna be the start of a new trend of mid-rise mixed-use living downtown, but sadly there hasn't been anything new like those since.
@@tylerhaynes8546 I didn't know there were people out here that thought the same as me 🥲. jokes aside you are not wrong. sadly we won't ever have any buildings over 100 feet downtown because they require a couple stories of basements and the ground downtown is all aquifers. We could use a couple more strip malls too (as sad as that sounds). I made a list once of all the things St. George doesn't have and it took me 4 hours. I lost that list though :(
hopefully. I'm pretty sure they are building a 7 story hotel diagonal from iceberg. also the apartments behind ancestor square he talked about will hopefully be at least 8 stories and look super cool
but i hope our downtown gets at least 5-8 tall buildings (under 12 stores) but no actual skyscrapers. I also wouldn't mind buildings like the ones you see in Lehi and Draper
@@LukeLamoreaux-eg7cyNah, tallest it'll be is 4-5 stories. Seems projects downtown is all talk and takes years to materialize if anything at all. Like what happened to the proposed 4-5 story mixed use apartment building planned to go behind Smith's and Walgreens years ago??
@@tylerhaynes8546 you are not wrong. but they are supposedly supposed to start on that project next year. the real reason we can't have super tall buildings is they require some basement levels and st. george can't dig down because of aquifers. thats why there are 2 parking garages downtown with 1 being built
Thank you for including Hat's Over Heels in this segment Macrae. I really appreciate it. Lots of cool things happening downtown.

Thanks, Macrae. As always a superb job! MEP
Thanks, Macrae!
Thank you sir.
Thanks for al the updates, Macrae. We heard last night that a Sprouts was coming into the area by exit 2. Any news about that?

Thanks for the update of your update. We had watched that video but it just didn't register at that time.
Who's water are they going to steal/compete with?
Any news on the planned underpasses on 400 E and 900 S?
Any talk of a Winco coming to the area?
yes washington city approved it by boilers park a couple months ago.
Thanks for another excellent video! Any news on Trader Joe's?
Not yet but hopefully soon!
St George will REALLY be on the map if we get a Trader Joe’s!!!!!!!! I may come out of retirement just to work there lol
If you ever hear news of a Raising Caines coming in please let me know😂🙏🏽
they are supposedly opening in the Kmart area in a year or 2
@@LukeLamoreaux-eg7cy Oh buddy🙏🏽😵💫
Imagine getting mad that there are businesses opening in your community lol
Haha my thought exactly. I dont get it
It makes sense to me. New businesses mean more traffic. Change is scary. Not to mention the noise and inconvience of construction.
That's Utah for ya

Paradise lost!
I disagree. Paradise just keeps getting better!
Lol

@@LukeLamoreaux-eg7cyIf you don’t like it you can move, I haven’t heard that brilliant comeback for a while.

100% agree with Luke

At the rate St. George is growing i can see high rise buildings coming in the next few years.
