TownLift is Park City and Summit County's independent, locally owned digital news outlet, founded in 2020 by Brian Modena, a mountain town resident with over 20 years of experience living in communities like Park City. Modena launched TownLift to give the area a modern, local-first news source accountable to the community . The outlet covers everything that shapes daily life in the Wasatch Back from powder day announcements and road closures to city council decisions and community events with a philosophy that no story is too small if it matters to the people who live and work there.
