Herriman City is often noted as one of the most rapidly changing cities in the state. This trend continues now in 2022. This year, in addition to welcoming a new City Council, it is also annexing over 900 acres on the northwestern border. As the City navigates through these changes and works to strengthen and facilitate a prosperous community, they remain committed to supporting legislation that aligns with their principles. The focus is placed on building a strong economic base, providing adequate infrastructure, and improving safety and quality of life through the parks, trails, and recreation amenities, as well as the public safety department.
