Layton Parkway paves way for Henry Walker Homes
LAYTON — Bringing more people to the city was not the main purpose of the new Layton Parkway. In fact, the goal for the road is to help residents leave the city.
However, thanks to a recent, 1-mile addition to the parkway, new subdivisions will soon start popping up on both sides of the street. Those subdivisions are part of the inevitable growth the city will see in the near future.
Henry Walker Homes will soon begin its subdivision, which will include homes on both the north and south sides of the parkway.
Similar subdivisions are inevitable as the city continues to extend Layton Parkway east to where it is planned to meet the proposed west Davis corridor.
Ben Hart, Layton’s economic development specialist, said the first priority for the parkway was to move people effectively from west Layton to Interstate 15.
“But it’s a very nice feature to build a road and see people who want to develop around it instead of vice versa,” Hart said.
