What's Happening in Southern Utah: St. George - Tech Ridge

[@masonjkranglecpafinancialc1336]

Great video! Very informative! Tech Ridge is going to be a big plus to the local economy. Looking forward future development.

[@jacobl777]

Your videos are amazing Macrae. I see St. George and surrounding cities becoming like a mini Singapore. We have the power, know-how, and ingenuity to absolutely be the economic powerhouse of this state. We just need Utah Tech to merge with Rocky Vista and make it a public medical school. If we could get rail access going north through SLC to Tremonton and Boise and south to southern California before the olympics, that would be nice.

Thanks for the video! Looks like a good place to live/hangout. Also I am one of those running the staircase race in January and this was the only video showing it in all it's glory ...and now I have doubts I'll last 6 hours of going up and down these stairs... ))

[@macraeheppler]

Haha best of luck to you. I'll be there watching 😁

[@ritchierobershaw2093]

Awesome, glad to see tech companies moving in 😀

[@jacobl777]

I want to see a Trader Joe's go up here. Also, I would like to see for sale condos. If they are available, we will sell our Washington home and St. George condo and move and live on the Ridge.

Any updates on Costco?

[@aicolorz]

Yay!!!

[@fjfjfurjrnfncnnxxn]

The south section of the street should be called Tech Ridge Runway since that’s what it is

[@MortgageN3rd]

Great stuff!

[@flynchie24]

What stores are going to be in the white dome commercial Plaza at the south end of river road?

[@LukeLamoreaux-eg7cy]

i know that grit and grind coffee is going to be building an actual store front there but that's all i know

[@utahdesertrider1806]

Jerry Rice Trail? Interesting. I’m a life long 49er fan

[@macraeheppler]

It's not officially official but that's the nickname it's been given as he always trained running uphill grades like that in San Fran. Just a fun nickname they gave it

[@johnvann7027]

When's the gondola going in?

[@macraeheppler]

Still needs to be approved. No timeline yet but it's in the plans

[@deneennorman8182]

Grocery and retail?? I'll never have to come down off the ridge except to go to work lol

[@macraeheppler]

Haha exactly!!

[@shelleystevens4737]

Hey! Will you give us the latest on the Northern Corridor? Heard the BLM is now blocking constructions.

[@77thomas]

We need a Sam’s club

[@Two-twelve-valves]

😢

[@LukeLamoreaux-eg7cy]

how is this sad?

[@Some0ne001]

I see absolutely nobody using that staircase during the hotter weather here.

[@macraeheppler]

@@Some0ne001 it was 95 degrees when this was filmed and people were using it. Early morning during the summer will be the time that it’s used primarily if i had to guess

[@petef.4361]

Do not underestimate the crazies that live here! You will most certainly see a small handful using it when it's 100+. They will be in the minority though. That's ok, they can have it all to themselves.

[@aicolorz]

I will! Lol😂😂😂😂 I am crazy like that!!!

[@Neomet010]

We have been using it all summer even before they started construction when it was just a trail. It is actually pretty well shaded from the sun. Call us crazy! 🙂

[@FreddietheFly]

@@Neomet010 You're crazy!

[@Sumbum67]

15 minute city

[@LukeLamoreaux-eg7cy]

you have no idea what that really is if you think this is it. also that would be really nice up there

[@longacre1041]

‘Jerry Rice Trail’ 🤦🏻‍♂️ This is the absolute dumbest name for a trail in St. George. Jerry Rice has no connection whatsoever to the state of Utah, much less St. George.

[@petef.4361]

I don't even know who Jerry Rice is? Should we know who he is/was?

[@Neomet010]

Ha!! Never knew that was the official name. We just call it 13% because that is what the sign on the trail says the grade is.

[@utahdesertrider1806]

I’m a life long 49er fan so I heard that and I’m like,.. what?. lol. I’m like what’s the connection? Maybe he lives here part time

[@macraeheppler]
