Utah's Quality Growth Commission - Communities

Welcome to the Quality Growth Communities Page

In 2004, the Utah Quality Growth Commission announced the opening of the Qualit Growth Communities program. This program provides priority access to state funds, and other incentives, for communities certified as “Quality Growth Communities,” and to special districts, transit districts and other service providers certified as “Quality Growth Service Providers”. Quality Growth Community Certification entitles communities, or service providers, to receive access to state funds, and other incentives, either on a preferred basis or on preferred terms. To become certified, a community must be engaged in an enhanced community planning process, including working closely with neighboring communities on areas of common concern.

Eligible applicants are Utah political subdivisions including counties, cities, towns, special districts, transit districts and other service providers.

Applying involves several steps. Before starting, be sure you have read through all the documents listed here:
