Murray • As city leaders look to the future, they see growth that avoids urban sprawl in this suburban city. The expansion will be up — as in taller buildings downtown.

In addition, development will take place in established areas that have infrastructure already in place, Mayor Dan Snarr said at Murray’s third annual economic development symposium last week...

...Also speaking at the symposium was Brooke Whitebread, marketing manager for Fashion Place Mall, who said the shopping center is in the second phase of an expansion.

In the first phase, in 2009, the shopping center’s interior was remodeled and Nord­strom moved to the north side after its old building there was demolished. The current phase has been adding 98,000 square feet of retail shops, including Crate & Barrel, Corner Bakery, California Pizza Kitchen, Coldwater Creek and Utah’s first Sephora store.

“As a community partner, all of us at Fashion Place are excited about the expansion,” Whitebread said.
