Lehi woke up to a burst of local headlines as the city kicked off the first full week of May with a mix of sunshine, community events, and breaking business news. Residents enjoyed clear skies and mild temperatures over the past 24 hours, marking a perfect spring Monday for outdoor activities and gardening. Pollen counts were moderate—enough to keep allergy sufferers alert but not sidelined—and air quality remained comfortably in the green zone.
Tech innovation grabbed the spotlight today as Vivint, the well-known Lehi-based smart home provider, announced a major rebrand. The company is shifting focus from home security to an integrated approach that now includes smart energy management. With a fresh look and expanded platform, Vivint aims to help more than two million customers nationwide better control both their home security and energy usage. This move follows Vivint’s acquisition by NRG Energy and signals a new era for local tech[1].
Lehi’s business community celebrated another milestone as Nature’s Sunshine Products, headquartered right here in town, named Heidi Wissmiller as Chairman of the Board. The company, a leader in wellness and supplements, marked Wissmiller’s appointment with optimism about its future growth and direction[3][4].
Saturday brought an unfortunate incident just across the Lehi boundary in Saratoga Springs, where a motorcycle collided with a car near Redwood Road and Cold Spring Drive. Lehi Police reported that three people were hospitalized, one airlifted with critical injuries. This event served as a sobering reminder for everyone to stay vigilant on the roads as traffic increases with spring activities[2].
In the spirit of service, the BYU Women’s Conference, with help from locals including staff at Lehi’s Primary Children’s hospital, wrapped up a heartwarming project to create thousands of comfort items for children in need. Volunteers crafted colorful stuffed animals called worry buddies, destined for young patients and kids in shelters. The project saw tremendous participation, with many expressing gratitude for the chance to give back and spread comfort to the community’s youngest members[5].
With new business momentum, community compassion, and an eye, as always, on safety, Lehi is stepping into May on a high note. Enjoy the sunshine, keep those allergies in check, and stay tuned for more local wins as the week unfolds.
