Outdoor Big Screen Coming to Laub Plaza for Game Days
Logan, UT · November 6, 2026
The weekend chill is settling down the canyon, but between art breaks on campus and live theater downtown, your Friday schedule is wide open.
The Lead
City leaders are rethinking the future of the historic Adams neighborhood as pressure mounts to create more attainable living spaces. During this week's council workshop, City Planner Russ Holley outlined a draft land use update aimed at allowing higher-density housing along the 400 North corridor. The initiative seeks to ease Cache Valley’s tight housing supply while concentrating growth along primary transit and commuting paths.
To ensure neighborhood stability, the council simultaneously approved Ordinance 26-19 in a unanimous vote, officially banning short-term hotel and motel operations within traditional commercial mixed-use buildings. Councilmember Katie Lee-Koven pushed back against treating downtown residential-commercial zones as experimental lodging ground.
Public hearings on the 400 North zoning amendments will roll out across neighborhood sessions over the winter before returning to the council floor for a final vote.

Spotlight & Story
- SNAFU
- Joseph Kinnebrew’s 1999 painted steel sculpture stands ten feet tall on the university campus, but students heading into finals know it by another name: the french fries. The tangled yellow beams were installed through Utah's Percent-for-Art program to jolt passersby out of routine thought.
