STATE OF THE CITY I Mayor Lyle Holmgren

Happy New Year! It is hard to believe 2023 has come and gone. For me, the new year represents an opportunity to make resolutions and set new goals. It is also a time to reflect on the year we just experienced and what was accomplished. My hope is as we grow, Tremonton will continue to be a place where neighbors feel connected to each other and enjoy life. Over the past year, we’ve come a long way in achieving that vision, and while there are still many challenges, I’m proud of what we have accomplished together to position Tremonton for a better future. Make no mistake, Tremonton is a vibrant and welcoming community.



As I reflect on 2023, I can’t help but think of all that was achieved. I am grateful for our employees and their accomplishments, for our city council and planning commission, and their vision, wisdom, and dedication to our city.


A few months ago, I shared some of the results from a 2022 survey conducted by Utah State University where citizens in Tremonton were asked to participate in the Utah Wellbeing Project. Respondents were asked where their moderate or major concerns were. Water supply led the list with 91% of respondents expressing moderate or major concerns, followed by roads (84%), affordable housing (79%), and public safety (77%).

It has now been almost two years since that survey was conducted. I would like to report on what we have done to help alleviate these concerns. READ MORE.......
