5. Modern Streetcars
UTA's choice for transit in Ogden
6. Malan's Basin Ski Resort/Mt. Ogden Golf Course redevelopment
New Ski Resort proposed for mountain above Weber State University campus. To finance the resort and gondola, the developer would purchase the golf course from the city and additional land from WSU and build luxury homes around a redesigned course. Not many details have emerged about the resort itself.
7. Winter-sports-related business hub initiative
Ogden has actively pursued and successfully landed several business relocations of firms serving the winter sports market
8. Adam Aircraft manufacturing facility
New 80k sq. ft. airplane manufacturing facility recently broke ground at Ogden Hinkley Municipal Airport.
9. Union Square
New condos and live/work lofts on historic 25th Street in DT Ogden
10. Commuter Rail
Ogden will be near the end of the line for FrontRunner, which will connect Ogden to DT SLC by 2008.
