A letter from the founder

Hi, I’m Tim.

I run Utah Grows — the local newsletter for good news, events, and community in the Salt Lake Valley.

I started Utah Grows because I wanted three things I couldn’t find in one place: a single source of local events, a spotlight on great local businesses, and attention for remarkable local people.

I live in South Jordan, and I kept feeling like the best of my own town was invisible — buried under algorithms and headlines designed to keep me scrolling, not to help me belong somewhere.

So I started writing the newsletter I wished existed: a two-minute morning read, five days a week, about what’s happening, what’s opening, and who’s worth celebrating. We lead with good news — not because the bad doesn’t exist, but because the good deserves a camera pointed at it too.

— Tim, founder of Utah Grows

What Utah Grows is

  • A newsletter.

    Two minutes, every weekday morning. South Jordan first, more cities as we grow.

  • An events feed.

    What’s on around town, browsable anytime.

  • A community vote.

    Best of South Jordan, decided by readers.

  • A tip line.

    The best stories come from readers.

What Utah Grows isn’t.

Utah Grows isn’t the news. No crime blotter, no outrage bait, no doomscroll. An algorithm can aggregate events — it can’t be a neighbor.

This is written by one, for all of ours.

Come on in.

Three ways to be part of it — pick whichever sounds like you.
