About TownLift
Connecting the Community
TownLift® is Park City and Summit County’s trusted source for local news. We cover the stories that shape everyday life here—whether it’s a powder day announcement, a road closure, a lost dog, or a city council decision that could affect your neighborhood. If it matters to the people who live and work here, it matters to us.
We don’t chase national headlines or editorial & opinion content. We focus on what’s happening right here, right now—in the mountains, on Main Street, and across the communities that make this place so special.
What Makes Us Different?
We’re not owned by a media chain. We’re not backed by billionaires.
Our coverage is fast, free, and grounded in local voices—because we believe news should serve the people who live it not those who own it.
We’re a local newsroom built from the ground up by people who’ve bumped chairs, waited tables, raised families, and made lives here in the Wasatch Back.
No story is too small. If you’ve got a tip, a photo, a press release, or a community moment worth sharing—we want to hear from you. TownLift thrives on contributions from readers like you, because this is your newsroom too.
Who Owns TownLift®?
TownLift® is locally owned by Brian Modena, who has spent over 20+ years living in mountain towns, including Park City, Utah. Brian launched TownLift in 2020 to give Park City a modern, local-first news outlet—one that stays accountable to the community. He is dedicated to amplifying local voices and stories while sharing his passion for mountain town communities and outdoor adventure.
