Good morning, Logan.

D.L. Evans Bank awarded United Way of Northern Utah a $25,000 grant on April 10 to support community programs.

The grant was part of $279,000 in funds that also helped CAPSA and the Cache Food Pantry and was boosted by a matching contribution from the Federal Home Loan Bank—bank officials said the action highlights their commitment to local nonprofits.

Logan ranked 44th among more than 1,300 small cities in WalletHub’s 2025 study for launching businesses ahead of National Small Business Week—scoring well in small business growth and financing access while ranking lower on workforce education and average revenue per business.

The report compared 18 key metrics and placed other Utah and Idaho cities in the top 50.

A North Logan man (32 years old) pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a young girl at knifepoint on March 31 in Logan’s First District Court after police said the abuse occurred in 2020; he remains free on $2,500 bail and will be sentenced on May 12, potentially facing up to 15 years in prison.

Utah State University has nearly completed the steps required by the DOJ from its 2020 Title IX settlement after failing to prevent and respond to past sexual misconduct, and it has formed an interlocal cooperative agreement with local law enforcement (its remaining tasks are to further improve police relations and campus climate).
