Main Street Mixed-Use Development RFP
Description
The town is finalizing evaluations of an RFP for a two-to-three story mixed-use project on town-owned Main Street property — retail, a restaurant, rentals or townhomes, and a central park. It could reach the council by mid-March.
Impact summary
Could transform downtown Payson's gulch area into a visitor destination and daily town square, but the proposal contains no housing and still needs financing feasibility work.

Payson Town Council - Regular - Sep 9, 2026
The sole respondent to the town's RFP presented a vision for a walkable mixed-use town center with retail, dining, a market hall, events, and public space on about 5.5-6 acres including adjacent private parcels. Purely informational — next steps are due diligence and a developer's agreement.
