Transmission Line Construction
Rocky Mountain Power wants to string a massive 54-mile high-voltage power line across Southern Utah, but locals are furious about the 130-foot towers ruining their views and property values. While the utility company promises better energy reliability, residents are fighting back to protect their neighborhoods and local environment.
Disaster Declaration

Horse Alley Infrastructure Deferrals
Cedar City is ditching a $600,000 well project. The council thinks it's too expensive and not worth the hassle.
