CLEARFIELD — Roads and water and sewer lines have been installed around Clearfield Station, the sprawling development taking shape around the city’s FrontRunner station.
“The next step is proceeding forward with vertical development — the apartments, the offices, the retail,” said Ken Shields, with Hamilton Partners, the Salt Lake City firm helping oversee Clearfield Station development.
Clearfield Station, one of three development initiatives around Utah Transit Authority FrontRunner stops in northern Utah, has been in the works for years. The infrastructure, in addition to a new park, is finally in place to allow for housing and commercial buildings to take shape, though, and Mayor Mark Shepherd, UTA trustee Beth Holbrook, Shields and others gathered Tuesday to mark the milestone.
“We are ready to go. I’m going to let people know we’re here and ready to stick shovels in the ground,” Shepherd said. “This is a great vision to happen, and it has taken, again, a long time to get us here.”
The Clearfield Station plans, spread across 56 acres, are significant for Clearfield, with as many as 1,000 new housing units, 550,000 square feet of new office space and 67,500 square feet of new commercial space envisioned.
