Invitations were unfortunately limited because of COVID-19 restrictions, but
Mayor Silvestrini was joined at the groundbreaking by County Mayor Jenny
Wilson, State Senator Jani Iwamoto, County Councilmembers Ann Granato and
Steve DeBry, and the Millcreek City Council, as well as City staff and the chairs

of Millcreek's Planning Commission and Community Councils. Representatives
of EPG Design (who designed the open space) and Hogan Construction were
also present.

Several enthusiastic young Millcreekers toted their ice skates to the ceremony
in honor of and in anticipation of the ice ribbon. The City is hoping to have the
ice ribbon open for Thanksgiving weekend.

Millcreek Common is Phase One of the Millcreek City Center Master Plan. The
Master Plan was created in response to Millcreek residents' expressed desire
for a vibrant and accessible city center. The anticipated completion date for
Phase One is November 2021.

You can watch the recording of the groundbreaking ceremony and view artist
renderings of Millcreek Common here. You can also watch Fox 13's story on
the event here.

We look forward to the day when we all gather safely as friends and neighbors
at Millcreek Common.

 SPRINGTIME
 AND HONEY
BEE SWARMS
As spring approaches,
honeybees are
becoming more active.
That often leads to more

human interaction with
bees -- usually as they
swarm or as they start
building in unwanted
places.

Preserving bees helps our ecosystem and food supply. If you see a swarm,
don't take matters into your own hands -- please leave it up to the experts.

For Help with a Swarm, call 801-69-BEES1 (801-692-3371) and
leave a message with a description of the swarm, the location, and a call-back
number or send an email to: wasatchbeekeepers@gmail.com. For more
information, visit Honey Bee Swarms

 Meetings with the
 Mayor
 Fridays from 2-4pm have been set aside for
 citizens to meet with Mayor Silvestrini
 (virtually only for the time being). Please
 call 801-214-2700 to schedule a slot.
