LOGAN – Students in the Utah State University’s Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning Department (LAEP) are spearheading a Main Street Matters workshop beginning on Saturday, Feb. 8 from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m.

“This is a student-led event and is not affiliated with (Utah Department of Transportation),” said Cameron Hill, who is co-leading the event with another student, Galen Kohlbrecher. “We received funding and want to get as much involvement from the public as we can.”
