University may use land as research park
If enacted, this bill would confirm that the University of Utah may use about 593.54 acres in Salt Lake City as a research park. It would validate the Secretary of the Interior’s December 10, 1970 letter (patent no. 43-99-0012, Oct. 18, 1968) and any Department of the Interior modifications approved before enactment. The land’s use would be subject to the Recreation and Public Purposes Act and the terms and conditions in that letter. The bill would also confirm other university uses consistent with the park, including student housing and a transit hub, so nearby homeowners and renters would see new buildings and more traffic.
