Visit Ogden is the marketing organization for the city and helps tourists in Ogden learn more about what there is to do in the city, as well as educates people about the history of Ogden.
“This is a chance for the community and supporters nationwide to rally behind Ogden and help highlight it as a leading destination on the national stage,” Director of Marketing and Communications for Visit Ogden Taylor Hartman said in a press release
The organization called 25th Street a “mecca” for a wide variety of people, including people who enjoy food and those who enjoy outdoor activities.
“Looking at Historic 25th Street now, it’s hard to believe it was once home to brothels, political scandals, and the ‘dark ages’ of gang rivalries so intense you couldn’t walk the three-block length in safety,” the organization said in the press release.
According to USA Today, the nominations for the best streets are provided by experts, and editors narrow the choices even further.
“This nomination is a testament to the beauty of our community and the unique experiences that 25th Street offers to both residents and visitors,” Hartman said. “From our historic architecture to our diverse local businesses and vibrant arts scene, we love the heart of our city.”
The winners of the USA Today competition are scheduled to be announced on April 17 after voting closes on April 8. Until then, Visit Ogden said it is encouraging local residents, businesses and even “fans of the city” to take part in the voting process online.
