A Thriving South Salt Lake
Our city is at its best when we invest in people and build neighborhoods where everyone can thrive. Here’s Cherie’s plan to keep South Salt Lake moving in the right direction.
Neighborhood Empowerment & Investments
Mayor Cherie Wood's neighborhood empowerment strategy centers on connection, equity, and responsive service delivery, prioritizing places where people live, gather and thrive.
Economic Revitalization
Under Mayor Cherie Wood's leadership, SSL is undergoing major economic transformation driven by transit-oriented, mixed-use projects and smart infrastructure investments. These efforts are revitalizing South Salt Lake's downtown core, ensuring housing affordability, walkability and long-term sustainability.
Police Oversight & Social Justice
Following the wave of national protests, Mayor Cherie Wood led the transformation of our police department by establishing a Civilian Review Board—bringing greater accountability and transparency to public safety. By prioritizing community policing and listening to the voices of our residents, Mayor Cherie Wood helped shift the department toward a model rooted in trust, fairness, and social justice.
Promise South Salt Lake
South Salt Lake's city-run department Promise program offers free, equitable, and inclusive programs across 13 locations, serving over 2,500 youth and their families each year. As a collaboration between schools, families, civic leaders, and service agencies, we support our residents from “cradle to career.”
