Insido .Mogno now proschool contor The past two weeks in the Deseret News and the Salt Lake Tribune, there have been articles on the speculation of a new Magna growth in the future, or of a new Magna main street on 2700 south. It seems the articles have forgotten to mention growth that we have now in Magna. In the past ten years over 400 new homes have been built in the Magna area. Also new Twin homes have been built just east of Reams on 3500 south and also a Twin home neighborhood just east of 2700 south The Arbor Park shopping center has been growing from its very beginning in 1975. The businesses that have moved from the old Main Street to the Arbor Park mall have all been changed into new business shops. It is true that when the Valley Fair Mall was finished in 1969, and we lost our that the shops on main street began to change J.C. Penneys A lot of Magna residents asked what made the biggest difference in the way main street used to be? Many told me they felt when the post office moved to its present location seemed many shops moved eastward on main street also. Even though it may be hard for visitors or people passing through to see the new growth in Magna it is there. More new families have moved in than new business has. With the new beach development and the newest annexation of Salt Lake City going as far west as the shore of the Great Salt Lake, along with new parks, and the ever growing Arbor Park, it seems we are in a constant state of change. I will always miss the old Magna J.C. Penney and the Main Street Cyprus Drug store, but with many old business still serving as well on 2700 south, and new shops moving in, and the convenience of the Arbor Park Mall, the new changes will be part of Magna for a long time to come. This week Magna, the constant growth of Magna .
