About us:
Allow us to reintroduce ourselves
We are the Westside Coalition (WSC)–an advocacy and community building organization comprised of Salt Lake City’s westside residents and business owners. We live, work, and play in Fairpark, Glendale, Jordan Meadows, Poplar Grove, Rose Park and Westpointe- the neighborhoods of Salt Lake City’s westside. The area includes both urban and rural segments of the Jordan River Parkway, a diverse array of restaurants to please any palette, an unmatched entrepreneurial atmosphere, a budding arts scene, and wonderful parks and green space. It is home to unique neighborhoods with diverse and hardworking residents. We are an inclusive and welcoming community where individuals and families can work, play, grow, and succeed together.
We believe our neighborhoods are the best in the city, and we know they’re exploding with potential. We are proud of what we have built together and excited about the unique opportunities in front of us. Along with those opportunities, however, come challenges and the risk of exploitation. Our best chance to navigate the path ahead is by working together and speaking with one voice on the issues that impact us all.
The WSC’s mission is to advocate for the health, safety, and quality of life of Westside Salt Lake City residents. Recently, the WSC’s board expanded to 18 members including elected community council chairs, appointed community representatives, and elected “at large” members. In the coming months, we will be engaging with our neighbors, identifying our community’s top priorities, and determining the next steps to move the Westside forward. We will be working with government and community leaders to address today’s challenges while developing a more equitable future. We will build on past successes and learn from past mistakes. The WSC Board meets on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 5:30 pm at NeighborWorks and online over Zoom. You can find the links on our events calendar. We hope you will join us in our mission to unite, promote, and defend Salt Lake’s amazing Westside neighborhoods.
