    Great updates on the growth of our city and communities. Can’t wait to see what’s next. Hoping that we’ll get another Costco, maybe a Winco and Sprouts in the near future. Great video Macrae!🎉

      The one he announced is Costco. Manager told us it's not if it's when they get another location here about 3 months ago. Also Sprouts is supposedly the LOI in the River Crossing development. Dont know about Winco but that'd be nice.

      Rather see a Sam's before another Costco. Need more variety, not more of the same, which seems to be the trend here.

    I was a Land survey for about 18 years in St. George. I got there in 1991. I believe there was 75,000 people in the whole county. My first big job was Redcliffe mall my last job was where you are at now. The highway going to the airport. I left in 2009

    And still appears I-15 is only two lanes in each direction. Looks like congestion from the AZ border until you get past St. George.

    • @rrbbb1180
      @rrbbb1180 7 місяців тому

      I-15 is getting ready to be widened. However, the area is growing in the direction further away from I-15, so getting to the freeway from outlying areas (such as Ivins, where the new resort is located) is a bit of a commute, because Dixie Drive is only 2 lanes either side (in most places) and getting very overcrowded, not to mention in need of another resurfacing.

We are at our max limit and with the limited resources we have, more people will only cause more strain to our problems of low water, congestion, and ruin our air quality. The people moving in now are making changes to our traditions that have stood here for a good century. PLEASE DO RECONSIDER AND MOVE ELSEWHERE. WE ARE FAR TO CROWDED.
