Community
Welcome to our community. We are a small town that takes care of each other. We're in a growth phase and excited for the future.
Vernal City, our county seat, has an active Downtown Plan that will guide the future of nine blocks in Downtown Vernal.
Our aim is to diversify our economy, foster community pride, and build entrepreneurial spirit.
“When we first arrived and saw the size and beauty of this community’s library, shopping centers, and other buildings, we couldn't believe we were not in a city of 100,000-150,000 in population”
