Answer me this, oh alluring land of mountains and lakes.
Provo City - Developments, 2011-2017
Here are some more shots I took today to add to what Lee has already posted.
Convention Center
This building is going to have excellent street presence on the east side, butting right up to the sidewalk.
Rebuild of Historic LDS Tabernacle(recently destroyed by fire)
All four sides of the Tabernacle have now been braced with the support scaffolding.
Joaquin Village - Student Housing
Joaquin Village coming along, slowly but surely. This is actually a humongous project.
...Joaquin Village in Provo, will house more than 900 Brigham Young University students in two buildings of three to five
stories over one level of parking...

New BYU student housing replacing Deseret Towers. From what I could see, there are three buildings currently under construction.

Provo City Updates Contd...
Nuskin Unveils $80 Million Investment In Downtown
 Mayor John Curtis,
The City Council gave a green light (with a unanimous vote)
to Nu Skin's downtown addition.
A little over a year ago, Nu Skin approached the City regarding the
feasibility of the expanding the Nu Skin campus in downtown Provo.
Nu Skin will be expanding its existing Tower and then go west across
100 West where it will construct a new modern facility.
The proposed $80,000,000 expansion project will add 147,000 square feet
for a total of nearly 300,000 square feet and will house about 900
employees.
The word modern doesn't really do justice to the planned expansion.
If I could come up with a word that combined cool, fabulous and
visionary I would be better able to explain the new project. Better
yet, I'll let the pictures tell the story.
Nu Skin begins demolition work in Provo expansion
The Salt Lake Tribune
Nu Skin International marked the beginning Tuesday of the demolition
of properties next to its downtown Provo high-rise office to make way
for construction of the Nu Skin Innovation Center. The center will house
a research and development laboratory, a network operations
center, distributor recognition areas, retail space and a cafe. The
network marketer of skin care and other personal products is investing
$80 million in downtown Provo in an expansion that will include more than
an acre of green space.

are demolished Wednesday May 4, 2011. The Nu Skin Innovation
Center will house world-class research and development laboratory,
network operations center, distributor recognition areas, retail space
and a café. Nu Skin is investing $80 million in downtown Provo with
this expansion project that will include more than one acre of green
space for employees, residents and visitors to enjoy.

Hundreds of Nu Skin employees and area residents looked
on Wednesday as Nu Skin founders Blake Roney, Sandie Tillotson
and Steve Lund took their turn at helping demolish the old Kress
building.
The event marks the end of an era on Center Street, according to
Mayor John Curtis, and signals the beginning of a new era in Provo
history.
"This is a big deal for us," Curtis said at the demolition. "I have mixed
feelings today, but any good city builds new landmarks. All of us
appreciated the landmark that was here. But this is an important
part of revitalizing downtown. It facilitates the things people have
been asking for in downtown."...

Frontier Airlines will begin daily Denver
flights from Provo[
http://www.deseretnews.com/article/7...rom-Provo.html
PROVO — Scheduled commercial flights will soon be arriving in
Utah County.
Provo Mayor John Curtis told the City Council Tuesday that Frontier
Airlines will start a daily flight in and out of Provo beginning in June.
The flight from Provo to the airline's Denver hub will leave at 8:30 a.m.
each day with a return flight landing at 9:15 p.m. daily. The flight will
be on an Embraer 190 jet aircraft that can seat 99.
"This is a major milestone for Provo and all of Utah County,"
Curtis said. "Many people have worked very hard, not just in the
last few months, but also in the last several years, to make this
happen."
Provo Airport manager Steve Gleason told the council if the flight
fills up, more flights will follow...

..."We have a million things just about ready to start,"
Gleason said. "This will be a monumental achievement to get this
done. Everyone is going 100 percent."
Both Gleason and Curtis said they are excited for the potential this can
bring to Provo and Utah County. The current push will be well worth it.
"The city and others have worked for so long to get scheduled service at
the airport, it's exciting to see it really happening," Curtis said. "After
making slow, steady progress for years, we're now sprinting to the
finish line. When you look at its potential for economic development,
and how convenient it will be for local travelers, it's going to be well
worth all the effort."
