Hurricane

To earn the Healthy Utah Community designation, Hurricane organized a new community health coalition and implemented strategies to improve community health. To support active living, they installed a new walking and biking trail and passed an ordinance that requires all new developments to provide sidewalks and street lighting. To promote healthy eating, Hurricane offers free gardening classes at the local community center and has an ordinance that allows for backyard agriculture. Hurricane also supports mental health by offering free medication disposal events, limiting the locations of smoking and vaping shops, and offering free guided tours of the city to increase a sense of belonging.
