Eagle Mountain authorized up to $10 million in bonds and adopted a Mid-Valley retail project area in 2026
In June the Redevelopment Agency authorized up to $10 million in sales tax and tax increment revenue bonds for road work tied to a planned retail development. In August the council adopted the Mid-Valley project area plan and approved a participation agreement with Terra Smith's Eagle Mountain LLC, 4-1.
Eagle Mountain's agency approved the Sweetwater #4 data-center deal in December 2025
The Redevelopment Agency board approved a participation agreement with Stadion LLC on Dec. 16, 2025, and amended the Sweetwater #4 plan and budget on Jan. 6, 2026. The packet version of the agreement ties reimbursement to occupancy and to increment the agency actually receives, and the amended budget's printed total differs from the sum of its parts.
County records show three phases of Eagle Mountain's first Sweetwater data-center area, tax years 2024 and 2025
Utah County's year-end reports for tax years 2024 and 2025 list three Sweetwater #1 phases, triggered in 2021, 2023 and 2024, that send property tax increment to Eagle Mountain's Redevelopment Agency. The reports record what taxing entities' increment went to the agency, not what the agency paid any developer.

Council minutes record unmodified financial opinions from the city's auditor for fiscal 2019 through 2023, along with state compliance findings on spending over budget and, for three of those years, general fund balance above the limit.
