Crews began the final demolition at the old Utah State Prison site in Draper, where construction on a new mixed-use development called
has been years in the making, and Draper Mayor Troy Walker thanked the various state leaders who have helped shepherd the project along, and who had the foresight to pair it with an economic development at the old site.
"I'm excited that the future is going to involve a place for people to get here where they won't have to drive a car and a place where they can live that they may not even need a car," he said. "I'm excited for the future. I think this prison site is nothing but a representation of opportunity." Due to the size of the site, crews have created a temporary concrete recycling operation, saving money on materials and cutting the emissions associated with transporting concrete off-site to be recycled.
More than 70% of the material from the demolition has been recycled, Townes said. That includes enough steel for the foundation of 1,040 homes, enough steel for 66 four-story office buildings, enough asphalt for 5 miles of road and the equivalent weight of nearly 23,000 iron beams.While the future development will create living and working space for thousands of Utahns, The Point will benefit the state as a whole with estimated billions of dollars in additional revenue and investment, said Rep.
