Lehi buzzed with big news and summer activity in the last 24 hours. The biggest headline came from city hall, as Mayor Mark Johnson announced Thursday morning that he will not seek reelection after his current term. After seven years at the helm, Johnson reflected on his time expanding park space, preserving open lands, and improving Lehi’s finances, which earned the city top bond ratings and lowered taxpayer costs. He thanked residents and council members for their support and celebrated Lehi’s emergence as the economic engine of Utah. The mayor’s announcement has already sparked conversations about the city’s next chapter and who will carry the torch forward for Lehi’s booming future[2].

Meanwhile, innovation continues to shine in Lehi’s business world. On Thursday, Lehi-based ecommerce leader Pattern rolled out a new set of AI-powered tools, aiming to help brands stay ahead in the ever-changing world of generative commerce. This new technology suite is making waves locally as businesses look to leverage artificial intelligence to outpace the competition[4].

Thursday in Lehi brought classic early summer weather — warm, mostly sunny skies made for a perfect day to get outside. The air quality remained good, giving residents every reason to hit the trails or visit the parks that have become a city hallmark in recent years. Pollen counts, however, are on the rise, so allergy sufferers might have noticed a little extra sniffle in the air.

In local sports, Lehi High School athletes wrapped up another busy week. While results from Thursday's playoff games are still coming in, the baseball and softball teams have both made strong postseason runs, drawing big crowds and plenty of school spirit.

Community life is as lively as ever. With the Lehi Round-up just around the corner, sign-ups for the June 10 horseshoe tournament are filling up fast. And if you’re looking for laughter, there are two family-friendly comedy shows scheduled for tonight at 6:30 and 8:00 p.m., sure to bring out plenty of smiles[1].

As Lehi looks ahead to a summer packed with events, change and innovation, the spirit of community remains strong — and the sunshine, for now, is sticking around.
