Plain City—The Plain City Camp of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers have a cabin/museum in the middle of town. It is located on the west side of the Center Church parking lot. The cabin was built in 1860 by John Carver. The Plain City Camp was deeded the cabin many years ago, and have had the responsibility of caring for it and carrying on the legacy left by their pioneer ancestors. The cabin is in need of restoration and they need help in the restoration. The fundraising for this project has been an ongoing since the spring of 2013. They have a long way to go. If you can help, contact Pat Smith, Joyce Weston or Rhea Gregory.

Plain City has been organizing a City youth council. They are in need of teenagers who want to have opportunity to serve the community and gain experience that can be used on future resumes and college applications. Contact LaFray Kelley by email at lafreyk@q.com.

The Pioneer Park has been through great transformation in the past year. The playground equipment had been installed and played on, there is the most unique spider web climbing area. There have been a number of generous donors to help this project happen. Toward the playground: the Larsen family; Olsen family; Hayes Welding; Foremaster family; Lynn Moyes; Jenkins family; and many others. Tables were donated by: The Cottle family—Lynn, Brent, Janet, and Chad; and the Modern Woodmen of America. Benches were donated by: Wilson family; LaFleur family; Yard Masters, Inc; In Memory of Don and JeNeal Skeen; Hunter family; In Memory of Travis B. Wood; and Post Construction. Trees gifted by Keith P. Merkley; Hayden J. Hayes; Daniel L. Binkerd; Kent and Elaine Calvert; and Modern Woodmen of America.

This completes Phase 3 of Pioneer Park. In addition to the bowery/restroom building, they have completed the parking lot, half of the grass area, and walking path. It’s been reported that in January the City will apply for another RAMP Grant for Phase 4.

The City is happy to report that the construction at the Town Square is completed and we now have a brand new bowery and restrooms for Plain City residents to enjoy. Plain City received a RAMP grant and purchased new scoreboards for the Lee Olsen Park.

The city has received a proposed subdivision for Jackson Ranch Subdivision  located at approximately 1700 N 3300 W. Petitioners have proposed that the property (42.5 acres) be subdivided into 70 lots.
