Sugar Factory Playhouse
West Jordan, Utah
After the city bowery was demolished to make way for a new fire station, West Jordan Theater Arts opened the 230-seat Sugar Factory Playhouse in the city's old sugar factory. Inspired by Trolley Square, the West Jordan City Council planned to renovate the sugar factory and turn it into a cultural arts center with a larger auditorium, amphitheater, art gallery, conference center, reception hall, and retail center. Expensive seismic upgrades eventually doomed the project and the sugar factory was demolished by the end of 2010.

The state board of health Friday asked the Salt Lake county commission to take immediate steps toward correcting a drinking fountain in the Apollo theater, 7605 S. State, which allegedly was installed in violation of the state plumbing code and in “utter disregard for recognized sanitary practices.”
The letter, signed by Lynn M. Thatcher, chief sanitarian, was referred to County Commissioner George W. Morgan, health and charity department.
