In education news, a major blow may be coming to afterschool and summer programs for youth if the elimination of 21st Century Community Learning Center grants moves forward. Deseret News highlights the concerns of advocates who warn that thousands of Utah children could lose safe afterschool options, especially in working-class and rural communities. Local providers are urgently seeking backup funding but anticipate tough decisions ahead if federal money is not restored.
Meanwhile, the state’s higher education system is undergoing budget-driven change. The Utah Legislature passed House Bill 265, enacting a ten percent cut to public university instructional budgets. Although institutions can recover funding through focused reinvestment in priority areas, some universities are trimming dozens of lower-demand degrees and shifting resources toward high-impact programs like engineering, biotechnology, and artificial intelligence, according to Inside Higher Ed.
Housing remains a major issue, as the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute’s latest report ranks Utah as the ninth most expensive housing market in the country. While home sales and listings have increased, economic uncertainty and persistently high mortgage rates are dampening future demand. The median sales price is still expected to climb two percent, even as new construction and sales stall near last year's levels.
Salt Lake City will see significant infrastructure improvements soon, with Granite Construction securing a $111 million contract to overhaul portions of I-215 and several connecting routes. This Utah Department of Transportation project will rehabilitate highways and bridges and includes extensive pavement and storm drain upgrades. Construction is set to begin next month and continue into late 2026.
In Ogden, community pride is focused on the historic Union Stockyard Exchange Building, now on Preservation Utah’s Most Endangered list. As business development transforms the area, city leaders and local residents remain committed to revitalizing this 1931 landmark, though specific plans are still being formulated, as detailed by KUTV.
Looking ahead, Utahns are bracing for continued hot weather this week under lingering high-pressure conditions, according to KSL TV. Key stories to watch include the outcome of the federal lands lawsuit, evolving education policy amid budget pressures, and the impact of rising housing costs on families statewide.
