Population: Wikipedia
Headline: KSL, 10/27/2024
The estimated population from 1995 to 2023 has actually gone from 9,271 to 23,588 — up 154% — according to U.S. Census Bureau figures. Still, there has been a lot of growth in a part of Davis County that has experienced explosive expansion in recent years, and Larsen and others are now saying enough is enough.
“The population infusion is just too fast,” said her husband, Adam Larsen.
The Clinton City Council’s decision to give the green light to a 341-unit housing development on open land was the tipping point. Now, the Larsens and others have launched a drive to nullify the Aug. 27 zoning change that allows the project to proceed, aiming to halt the development. They need 3,548 signatures on the petitions they’re circulating by Nov. 6; as of Thursday, they had nearly 2,900, according to Adam Larsen.
Adam Larsen worries about an unstoppable engine of growth and development, the sort of thing he and his wife were trying to escape when they moved to Clinton in the 1990s.
You can run, Adam, but you can't hide.
Clinton, located in Davis County, is part of the Salt Lake City metro area.
