History and Character of the Area

In 1909, when Midvale City was founded, Main Street served as its bustling heart. Nestled around the smelter just west of Main Street, this area thrived with smelter offices, banks, restaurants, and shops. The Avenues neighborhood homes were constructed for the industrial workers and their families who were part of the surrounding industrial hub. Before the construction of I-15, Main Street played a crucial role as a regional north-south route, attracting residents from across the valley. It was a vibrant destination for shopping and leisure.

However, with the advent of the freeway, Main Street's importance as a north-south route dwindled. The freeway diverted traffic to newly built strip malls, while also limiting access to Main Street from the expanding eastern part of the City. As a result, businesses along Main Street experienced a decline in both foot and vehicle traffic.

Today, Main Street presents a mix of thriving businesses and vacant properties, offering opportunities for revitalization. With recent additions like City Hall and the County Senior Center at the north end of Main Street, there's growing momentum for both public and private investments, paving the way for a more vibrant and promising future for this area.
