County Approves Plans for Proposed Building
The county held a public hearing on a new county building at the courthouse with Salt Lake City architect Lorenzo Young presenting final plans. County commissioners accepted them while the city council urged moving the site to a rear lot donated by the city, but parking concerns led the county to keep the courthouse location. The library would be included in the new building with a separate library building planned for the future if funds and demand allow.
