LAYTON -- There are 17 title loan, payday loan and deferred deposit lending businesses in Layton, a number city officials have deemed too high.

In response, the city council has taken action to eventually bring that number down.

LAYTON -- Three more cities have signed on for green waste curbside recycling. Will Layton be next?
