The "Magnify Utah" project is a compilation of stories, people, and places featuring StoryMaps, an asset mapping directory, & multicultural placemaking principles. It will also invite community members and leaders to contribute stories and information, so that we can all better magnify and share the diversifying story of the Utah experience.
A Sense of place, a sense of belonging
Utah: A Place for Everyone
A Welcoming Message from Governor Spencer J. Cox
If you’re new to Utah, welcome. We are happy to have you. If you’ve been here for a while, we’re happy you’re here.
Note: This project was previously called "Multicultural Placemaking & Community Belonging" and has since changed to better capture the vision for these resources. Governor Cox may reference the older name, but the goals remain the same.
