Top issues during term (5)(General)
Recreation Center Development
Estimated at $12 million for initial construction, plus ongoing staffing and maintenance costs.
Staker Parsons Transmission Line Infrastructure
The project will involve costs associated with the manufacturing and delivery of steel structures, to be determined by the competitive bidding process.
Firefly Habitat Protection
Negligible or offset by potential grant funding and tree donations from Tree Utah.
Stratos Project opposition
While exact dollar amounts aren't locked down yet, a massive community fight could mean costly delays and legal battles for the project.
nuclear power plant permitting
Building a nuclear plant is a massive, multi-billion dollar investment that could either stabilize our long-term energy costs or lead to major budget overruns and tax hikes.
