Tuesday, I went to West Valley City to Visit the UTOPIA Offices along with a dozen other city council candidates from other cities in the Northern Utah region (I was the only Lindon candidate present). The purpose of this visit was to learn about how UTOPIA has changed and is progressing with their new leadership team.
I will say that I went to the “Lunch and Learn” doubtful and even pessimistic that they would offer much more than a sales pitch. It was refreshing that Todd Marriott, their new Executive Director of three years, laid it all out on the table - the good, the bad and the ugly.
I’ve always said that UTOPIA’s business model needed to be changed and this NEW model comes across like that’s what Todd and his team are doing! They seemed VERY focused on making the UTOPIA infastructure work in a way that has other parts of the country standing up and taking notice.
The original UTOPIA model has left a bitter taste for many but I will say that this new model MUST be looked at as being seriously viable!
I for one will look HEAVILY at how it can work for my household needs and budget in compared to what I’m paying now for my “Triple Play”. As I discover more I’ll be sure to share it with you! I’ll be looking at it from every viewpoint, as a citizen, as a potential Council Member and whether this new model is on the right track.
More to come on this topic…….
