rogress is happening at The Point, the former prison site in its infancy of becoming an ultra-modern development. Officials announced that the Utah Division of Facilities and Construction is running ahead of schedule on site abatement, the first step toward demolition. In December, the Phase 1 development partner will present refined plans to The Point of the Mountain State Land Authority. “This is getting more and more real. Rather than a place where people are constrained, it’s going to be a place of new opportunity…and change life for the better for the people of the state,” said Alan Matheson, The Point’s executive director. Innovation Point Partners (IPP), the Phase 1 development partner, is a team of three firms: the Lincoln Property Company headquartered in Dallas, Texas and local partners Colmena Group and Wadsworth Development Group. According to The Point officials, the IPP team has experience building large-scale, sustainable communities and innovative, mixed-use projects. Though they couldn’t share specifics prior to the December Land Authority meeting, Matheson and IPP spokesperson Abbey Ehman spoke in general terms about refinements to the plan. Ehman is based in Los Angeles, but she previously lived in Utah. A conceptual rendering of the River to Range plans for The Point. Phase 1 development plans are being refined with a focus on connection to nature. Continued page 8
