Living in Richfield: The Hub of Central Utah

Richfield is widely known as the "Hub of Central Utah." It serves as the primary commercial, educational, and medical center for Sevier and the surrounding counties. Residents enjoy a rural, small-town atmosphere without sacrificing amenities. It is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, sitting right on the famous Paiute ATV Trail system.

The city is currently investing heavily in its future. Snow College has launched the massive remodel of the Washburn Building, a multi-year project that will create a stunning new "Gateway to Campus" by 2027. Commercially, the city is expanding with a new hotel approved at 1155 South College Avenue and a developing commercial corridor along 1300 South, ensuring the "Hub" keeps growing.
