Construction Begins on North Ogden's 

New Smith's Market Place

Crews from Associated Brigham Contractors, Inc. began digging the new route for the canal that runs through Smith's property.  The canal will be piped in a boxed culvert along the outer edge of the property.  A trail will also be constructed on top of the canal and tied into North Ogden's trail and sidewalk system.


 Construction of the building itself will begin in the spring.

 IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN NORTH OGDEN! HAVE FUN THIS WEEKEND AND PLEASE BE SAFE.

From the North Ogden City Staff.
