The Future of Arlington/Historic City Hall
needs your voice Now
Murray City wants to sell the Arlington School, otherwise known as the current Murray City Hall, located at 5025 S State Street in Murray, UT. The City wants to sell to a developer, who will likely tear it down and replace it with another high-rise apartment building.

Scenario 1 - Community Center
This scenario explores the possibility of maintaining the historic school as a public space. This option would provide the opportunity for a potential library, community, cultural, and/or senior center for the Murray community.

Scenario 2 - Housing
This scenario proposes re-imagining the Arlington as housing for Murray residents. Using the school as residences for low-income community members helps address the crucial need for affordable housing, while also keeping a local landmark intact.

Scenario 3 - Commercial Market
This scenario continues the rich commercial legacy of Murray's segment of State Street, adapting the Arlington into a collection of boutique shops, local eateries, and/or coffee shops. Imagine a food hall or restaurant collective that community members could visit before seeing a show at the newly renovated Murray Theater! Upper level can be used as rentable workspaces, or house space for entities such as non-profits.
Most Importantly, contact the Murray City Council (who also act as the Murray RDA).
