MAYOR’S MESSAGE
I am proud to announce the completion of the restoration of the historic Murray Armory Motor Pool building, a landmark located in Murray Park along Little Cottonwood Creek. Originally built to support the Utah National Guard, this facility played a role in our community for decades. When the opportunity arose for the city to acquire it, we saw the potential to preserve its legacy while transforming it into a space that would bene t residents for generations to come. Through careful restoration, we have repurposed the armory into a beautiful event center—a perfect gathering place for family reunions, class reunions, weddings, receptions, birthday parties, and other community celebrations.
I’m excited to announce that beginning April 2nd, 2025, residents will be able to reserve the facility for events starting June 6, 2025, with bookings available up to one year in advance. To celebrate this incredible transformation, I invite everyone to visit the new event center during our Murray Fun Days celebration on July 4 from 11am-3pm, for an open house and tour.
Please contact the parks and recreation department at (801) 264-2614 for more information.
We look forward to seeing this historic space lled with laughter, memories, and the spirit of community.

Fighting Wild res
The recent California res became more than a news story for myself and my extended family.
My sister and her family live in Southern California, and the re came a short distance from her house.
Her family and neighbors were evacuated in the middle of the night leaving valuables and other precious items as they watched the ames spread down the street. Over the next several days, many of her friends and neighbors lost their homes. Luckily, her house was not engulfed in the ames, but her family spent several weeks moving around between friends’ homes and hotels until her neighborhood was declared safe.
The re required countless hours from emergency personnel, including our own Murray Fire Department. Our city sent several re ghters as well as trucks in join the e orts. I was grateful to our re ghters who volunteered their time and abilities to assist the residents of Southern California. Our city sent several re ghters as well as trucks in their endeavor. This is one of many wild res our re ghters help to contain, both inside and outside of the state of Utah.
THE PARK CENTER
Fighting wild res di ers signi cantly from ghting res in an urban environment. Conditions are brutal. Instead of driving up to the re, our re ghters often carry their supplies, including re ghting gear, water, and other necessities, while hiking through rough terrain. The weather is hot, and the gear only adds to the heat. Sleeping occurs on cots, the ground, or in the trucks. The days are long and exhausting, but our re ghters prepare for these moments.
Not all re ghters can handle these situations. These re ghters receive extra training and certi cations to qualify to assist in these natural disasters, and over half of our current Murray re ghters have received this training.
Our crews’ service exemplify some of our community values: service, preparation, dedication and caring for others. They sacri ce time with their families and comfortable conditions to help others. Their actions helped residents throughout Southern California and as well as citizens throughout the country, and in this instance they helped my family.

Reconstruction of the signal at the intersection of Winchester and 700 West will begin in April. In addition to replacing the signal poles and light xtures, right turn lanes will be added in the eastbound, northbound, and southbound directions and the westbound left turn lane queue will be extended further east. These improvements will better accommodate the congestion at the intersection as well as improve pedestrian access on all four counters with new ramps and crosswalk infrastructure.
Murray’s Street Department has mill and overlay projects on Morning Dew Drive and Daisy Lane, this will include spot replacement of curb and sidewalk. Streets between 4600 South and 4800 South from State Street to Atwood will receive slurry seals on the roadway surface.
Murray Water will be completing work on 500 West’s waterline replacements on Century Drive (north of 4500S) and then replace failing 6” water main with a new 8” mainline on Harwood Lane from Pontiac Drive to 900E, improving both capacity and re ow. Later in the spring, Murray Water will be upgrading the 6” cast iron main in Murray Boulevard from Vine Street to Hunter’s Woods Apartments with 12” ductile iron to improve capacity, re ow and reliability.

In addition to the city-controlled projects, Lumen is beginning expansion of its Quantum Fiber in Murray City and recently completed work in the Germania neighborhood. Their contractor, Fugal, is planned to begin work in the Walden Glen in March and then will move to the Potomac and Halcyon/Lucky Clover neighborhoods between April and July. While they are coordinating with Murray City Public Works for work within the right-of-way, the city does not give permission for their work on private property. Rather, this is permitted through existing easements and through permission of the a ected property owner. Maps will be posted on both the Murray City Public Works Facebook and Instagram pages. Any questions or concerns regarding this work should be directed to Fugal at fugal.com/neighbor or at 801-796-5046.
