Celeste Johnson is wrapping up her time in office after eight years. Protecting open space has been a hallmark of her time as Midway mayor.

The Midway City Council voted to make several changes to its short-term rental rules as the city seeks ways to more easily regulate its tourism economy.

Some Midway residents say they are fed up with skiers, “swingers” and other short-term renters in their neighborhoods. City leaders are trying to balance a tourism economy with full-time locals.

Wasatch County voter turnout was about 49%, according to new election numbers released Thursday.

Early voting begins Oct. 28 for Wasatch County locals who want to cast their ballots in person.

The five candidates on the ballot in Midway shared ideas for the town’s future at a forum Oct. 22.

Midway voters are invited to meet their candidates for mayor and city council at a town hall Wednesday evening, Oct. 22.

Neighbors will walk through Midway Saturday for the 2025 Volksmarch, to raise awareness of open space and celebrate town history.

Stratford, who led the city council race in Midway’s primary elections, has withdrawn. Three candidates remain.

About a third of voters cast ballots in the primary races for Heber and Midway earlier this month, while two-thirds of Charleston voters went to the polls.
