If you’re a subscriber, chances are you received a renewal letter from the Lehi Free Press last week. We politely ask you to take a moment to renew your subscription.

5. We respect and support our senior community. Senior citizens in Lehi often consume local news through a printed newspaper. We want to provide this method of news delivery for their benefit as long as possible.
