The Point state board approves massive outdoor concert venue plans in Draper

Months after first discussing whether southern Salt Lake County could be home to large concert crowds, a state board has made the prospect official. Earlier this week, the Point of the Mountain State Land Authority (POMSLA) Board voted to approve a proposal to allow an outdoor entertainment venue of up to 40,000 people, according to a news release from The Point. The outdoor venue could host music festivals, concerts and other large events on a 39.4 acre parcel within The Point, the state’s sweeping redevelopment effort at the old Utah State Prison site in Draper.
