New Retail on Redwood Road By Mayor Trent Staggs Riverton City continues to grow and improve in ways that will benefit generations. A few weeks ago, I was pleased to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of the Paige Retail Plaza that will be built on Redwood Road across from city hall. I led an initiative to designate this land as a Community Development Area, which allowed the city to guide the improvement and aesthetic of this land. The CDA enabled me to find and work with an entrepreneur who will transform this property into a magnet of opportunity. While new construction is largely stalled across the valley, business owners are still finding opportunities in Riverton. The plaza will consist of 20 nearly 2,000 square-foot retail spaces in 4 buildings. The Paige Retail Plaza is poised to bring in new jobs and contribute to a thriving local economy. It will also provide residents with greater access to a variety of retail and dining options, making Riverton a more convenient and attractive place to live, work, and play. This project is the culmination of hard work from city staff, elected officials, and enterprising entrepreneurs.
