Salt Lake City and surrounding areas offer so many wonderful activities for families, but we love to hear about FREE activities! Chance McKinney n' CrossWire will be performing at South Jordan's Country Fest this Saturday and it's FREE admission for your entire family! A GREAT opportunity to get out and enjoy some sunshine while listening to some pretty awesome music... did I mention IT'S FREE?!! Bring your blankets or lawn chairs.
Also, I am a bit biased and proud, as Chance is my very talented son-in-law, who is also the reigning Country Music Televisions (CMT) Music City Madness Winner, and I'm so very happy that he and his band have FINALLY come back to tour through Utah this week... check them out! Very fun show!
The City of South Jordan presents a

This big party in South Jordan includes activities and events for all. 5k run, Chuckwagon breakfast, parades, pinewood derby, car show, sporting events and Free concerts in the park both Fri and Saturday nights. CHANCE MCKINNEY and CROSSWIRE will bring it on Saturday night! Attention... South Jordan Home Owners who reside near the Park or happen to be attending the show, prepare yourselves. I have enjoyed this band on numerous occasions. The lead singer Chance McKinney, really knows how to entertain. He brings an all-star cast of musicians in longtime friend and drummer, Brian Bujacich, along with the guitar 'Super Duo' of Paul Schille (lead) and Ray Neyens (bass). 'Industrialized Country' or or just plain 'ROCK' is what the band performs best. This upbeat and high energy band will keep you on your feet. The band has enjoyed tremendous success in recent years and have opened for artists such as Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Dierks Bentley, 38 Special, Lynyrd Skynyrd and most recently Dwight Yoakam and Alan Jackson!

Chance and the boys of CrossWire are at it again. Coming off a week in Washington with Dwight Yoakam, they’ll head down to Utah for 2 shows and then finish off Father’s Day Weekend with a show back in Washington. “Yes, it’s busy, but it’s that time of year when we get to get OUT and see folks all over the West. We’re not bundled up inside doin’ shows only on weekends in 21 and older joints. To be honest, it’s my favorite time of year and favorite types of shows,” says Chance.

Holladay, Utah is not only a beautiful place to reside, but it also offers a unique charm and quaintness that few towns could possess. The homes for sale in Holladay come in a wide variety of styles and prices, including some of the finest luxury estates available in Utah. It's never been more of an optimal time to purchase Holladay homes for sale. Rates are still at record lows, Holladay home prices have never been better. Here is a little bit of history (some of which I didn't even know) shared from the Holladay City website!
City History
A group of pioneers known as the Mississippi Company, led by John Holladay, entered the Salt Lake Valley on July 29, 1847. Within weeks after their arrival, they discovered a free flowing, spring fed stream, which they called Spring Creek (near Kentucky Avenue). While most of the group returned to the Fort in Great Salt Lake for the winter, two or three men built dugouts along this stream and wintered over. Thus, this became the first village established away from Great Salt Lake City itself. In the spring, a number of families hurried out to build homes and tame the land. There were numerous springs and ponds here and grasses and wild flowers were abundant, making this a most desirable area for settlement. When John Holladay was named as the branch president of the Church, the village took upon itself the name of Holladay’s Settlement or Holladay’s Burgh.
As homes were built, commercial ventures developed, first at the intersection of Highland Drive and Murray-Holladay Road, with David Brinton’s Mercantile Co-op and Brinton-Gunderson Blacksmith Shop. As the community grew, businesses tended to move east of the intersection of Holladay Boulevard and Murray-Holladay Road, where more of the residents lived. Neilson’s Store and Harper-Bowthorpe Blacksmith Shop were popular and well-frequented businesses for many years. Favorable conditions for agriculture, orchards and businesses allowed for continued growth over the years.
The Holladay and Cottonwood communities were unincorporated areas of Salt Lake County and 15 years ago efforts were made by a dedicated group of citizens to incorporate as a separate entity, but area citizens voted against incorporation by a narrow margin. Salt Lake County, the Utah Supreme Court and/or the Utah State Legislature frustrated subsequent efforts and citizens weren’t allowed another incorporation vote until May 4, 1999. On that day, a better-informed citizenry voted by over 83% to approve incorporation and the City of Holladay was officially incorporated on November 30, 1999.
Residents overwhelmingly supported incorporation because of a profound desire to gain control of local planning and zoning. General Plan meetings were attended by a large number of enthusiastic Holladay residents, all excited to finally have a voice in the future of our community. A vast majority – if not all – of those attending wanted Holladay to maintain and even improve its rural atmosphere. Suggestions included:
Subsequently an area north and east of the original boundaries of Holladay were annexed into the City in October of 2002.

Sandy City Council Members reverse an earlier decision to keep UTA (Utah Transit Authority) from building a new Park and Ride lot at the new 114th South freeway exit, to accommodate a future Trax stop. UTA has apparently met the conditions set forth by the two votes that held up their ability to proceed. This is continued growth for Sandy City and surrounding areas, and was likely inevitable, once the on/off ramps were completed at 114th South on I15. Unfortunately, some Sandy homeowners are not happy about this reversed decision and feel it will negatively effect their Sandy property values.
The KSL article below explains some of the conditions met by UTA, the benefits offered to Sandy residents for their Sandy City real estate that are directly affected by the newly proposed lot:

SANDY — Two City Council members reversed their previous positions and voted late Tuesday night to allow the Utah Transit Authority to build a park-and-ride lot to serve a future light-rail station at 11400 South.
A change of heart, and vote
Three weeks ago, Councilmen Stephen Smith and Bryant Anderson were among the majority of council members who supported an appeal by a group of residents to overturn a decision by the Planning Commission in January that gave UTA a green light to build the park-and-ride lot.
Then last week, Smith called for the issue to be reconsidered, saying he believed additional conditions offered since the May 10 vote, combined with those recommended by the City Council and Planning Commission, adequately addressed his concerns with the project.
Smith previously was one of the most vocal members of the council in his opposition to the project — calling the transit authority "too big" and saying UTA officials don't believe municipalities such as Sandy could or would challenge them.
Smith's criticism of UTA and the project has been second only to Councilman Scott Cowdell, who throughout the process has made no secret of his mistrust of UTA and his contention that the park-and-ride lot would negatively impact the health, safety and welfare of Sandy and its residents.
Smith's and Anderson's respective changes of heart allow UTA to move forward with the 222- to 248-stall parking lot west of the TRAX station now under construction at 11400 South and about 400 East.
Sandy residents not happy with new decision
The fact that the issue was brought back to the City Council for reconsideration came as a surprise to the 50-plus residents who have been fighting for the past 2½ years to keep the park-and-ride lot from being built near their homes.
"I couldn't believe it," Sandy resident LeeAnn Evans said. "It feels like it's never ending."
"So the obvious question is: When is (the City Council's) final vote? Is it when UTA gets what they want?" asked Joe Taylor, another neighbor.
Neighbors pleaded with the City Council on Tuesday night to reaffirm its May 10 decision and not allow a parking lot to be built in the otherwise residential area.
"You did the right thing (on May 10)," resident Peter Donaldson told the City Council prior to the vote. "You stood up and protected us. We ask you to please not turn your back on us now."
UTA responds to council's re-vote
UTA officials had said they likely would appeal the council's May 10 decision in court. Now, that won't be necessary.
"We're very gratified that the majority of the City Council believes we can work together to address (residents') concerns," UTA spokesman Gerry Carpenter said. "We're committed to meeting all of the conditions discussed in tonight's meeting."
In the weeks following the May 10 vote, UTA has offered to increase security measures at the park-and-ride lot, including the installation of security cameras and a plan to work with the Sandy Police Department to address the expected increase in crime.
Last week, the UTA Board of Trustees voted to move forward with purchasing the 2-acre vacant lot immediately west of the planned park and ride. The ability to expand to address the potential for additional parking at the lot also appears to have addressed some council members' concerns.
The Planning Commission's Jan. 6 approval of a conditional-use permit for the project included a list of 29 conditions, some of which were designed to address neighbors' concerns about traffic, crime and a negative impact on property values.
The City Council reviewed and modified those conditions Tuesday night, along with those proposed by council members and UTA. In addition to landscaping requirements, those conditions included a parking management plan designed prevent parking from overflowing into city streets.
As a way to offset potential negative impacts to property values, UTA offered to covey an irrevocable 15-foot easement for the benefit of the property owners, giving residents' whose yards abut the park-and-ride additional property. The easement essentially increases the size of property owners' lots without creating an additional property tax burden.
According to UTA, the park-and-ride lot is needed to accommodate projected ridership on the Draper Transit Corridor. The 11400 South station is one of three stops on the 3.8-mile extension of the TRAX line that currently ends at 10000 South.
The cost of the entire project is estimated at $194 million. UTA officials are counting on a federal grant to cover $124 million of that cost.

Success in Salt Lake City real estate investing endeavor depends on your street smart investment strategies and financial portfolios. Investing in Utah real estate properties remains one of the best opportunities to make a profit this year. Despite differing interest rates in the market and different banking sectors that use the lowest rate of interest and at the same time making a higher percentage down payment, you can be sure to get the lowest interest payable and more principal cleared every month.
Take note of cash rotation when investing in a Salt Lake City Home for sale. An investment is definitely not a sound investment without cash rotation. Rent can be used to pay off loan and other outstanding debts. Buying a property in a particular area where the real estate sector will have a great demand in the future, such as Sugarhouse, the Avenues, Holladay, Millcreek or the Cottonwoods, and then selling the property at a higher rate is also another way to invest in properties.
Converting a Salt Lake City residential property into a Salt Lake City commercial property is another way to get higher returns of investment. These homes can be converted into apartments, individual dwelling units or multi-family kind of apartments to fetch higher rents. However, these conversions also depend on the locality, re-zoning capabilities (if necessary) and the area of the property.
Capital, location and duration of the property are just three of the important criteria that you have to consider when you are asking about a property’s profitability of the property investment. Location is crucial in Salt Lake City real estate investing. You can start renting out a property, but be sure that the rental fee received is more than enough to cover the mortgage payment of the property.
You just have to come up with strategies in buying or selling Homes for Sale in SALT LAKE CITY to increase the market value of your home, to get the highest returns, and to increase your profits.
