Public Invited to Meeting on Proposed Homeless Services Campus Near North Salt Lake
Residents of North Salt Lake are invited to attend an upcoming public information meeting on Tuesday, September 30 at 7:00 p.m., where details about a proposed homeless services campus will be shared. The facility is planned for a location near 2550 North and 2200 West in Salt Lake City, near the border of North Salt Lake.
The meeting aims to provide residents with a comprehensive overview of the project, including potential impacts on surrounding communities. The Stateโs Homeless Coordinator will lead the presentation, outlining the purpose and scope of the facility, as well as addressing public concerns.
City officials are encouraging local citizens to participate in the meeting, which will include a Q&A session with state staff. The event is intended to foster transparency and provide an opportunity for community input as planning continues.


FBI Arrests Two After Bomb Found Under News Van in Salt Lake City
Two men have been arrested in Utah after an explosive device was discovered beneath a FOX 13 News vehicle in Salt Lake City, prompting a federal investigation and evacuations in Magna.
The device, found on September 12, had been ignited but failed to detonate. It was located under a parked news van near an occupied building, posing what officials called a serious public safety threat. The FBI took over the case due to the potential for mass harm.
Investigators traced the device to a home in Magna near 2700 South and 8500 West, where suspects Adeeb Nasir, 58, and Adil Justice Ahmed Nasir, 31, were living. A search of the home uncovered two hoax weapons of mass destruction, bomb-making materials, firearms, illegal drugs, and electronics believed to contain evidence. Nearby homes were temporarily evacuated during the operation.
The suspects face charges including Threat of Terrorism, Possession of Weapons of Mass Destruction, and Possession of Explosive Devices. Both are being held in the Salt Lake County Jail.

Utah Ranks Near Bottom in New Report on U.S. Sports States
Utah has been ranked among the lowest states in the country for sports, landing at 41st in a new WalletHub report evaluating sports culture across the U.S. The ranking considered factors like the number of professional and college teams, ticket prices, fan engagement, and facilities.
While Utah is home to the NBAโs Utah Jazz and several college programs, the state lacks major league teams in sports like football, baseball, and hockeyโhurting its overall score. Low attendance figures and limited market size also contributed to the poor showing.
Top-ranking states like California and New York benefit from a deep pool of professional franchises and strong fan traditions. In contrast, Utahโs smaller sports scene, despite passionate local support, didnโt measure up by national standards.

โItโs always amazing to see the community come together, but this week was extra special,โ they shared. โWe truly have the best customers!โ

๐งธ Be the Light with Lilyโs Birthday Stuffed Animal Drive
Last year, Lily celebrated her birthday by organizing a stuffed animal drive for Intermountain Healthโs Cancer Centerโcollecting 140 stuffed animals to comfort kids whose parents are battling cancer. ๐
This year, sheโs back with an even bigger goal: 200 stuffed animals by September 30th! Each donation, whether new or gently loved (small to medium-sized), helps bring hope and comfort to kids and teens during an unimaginably hard time.
There are lots of ways to get involved:
Drop donations off at Lilyโs house
Order online and ship directly to her
Meet up for a hand-off
Or contribute funds so she can purchase animals on your behalf
As Lily shared, โLearn to light a candle in the darkest moments of someoneโs life. Be the light that helps others see.โ ๐
๐ You can read Lilyโs full post and DM her directly if youโd like to contribute: [Facebook Post Link]
