Revenue needed for Utah highway program grows
The Vernal Chamber report by Gerald Doerrle shows Builtrite Homes contributed over 100000 locally, with 65 percent of total spent on local labor and materials. Sixteen homes remain to be built, totaling over 265000 in investment, boosting Vernal building permits to beyond a million dollars in 1952. Utah must accelerate highway funding to address long term needs, as per Utah Foundation analysis, which warns even covering current deficiencies for twenty years leaves a large backlog and requires added allowances for immediate maintenance, wear, and replacements.
