RANDOLPH, Utah. December 17, 2014. Mitch Poulsen, Director of BLRC (Bear Lake
Regional Commission), informed the Commissioners that he has the application
ready to submit to the State to make Rich County an Enterprise Zone. He needed signatures from the
Commissioners. The public hearing was
held last summer in order to be able to go ahead the make this change.
Poulsen asked the Commissioners what economic-type projects
they would like to see move forward. The
Commissioners noted that the marina expansion was probably the top project at
the present time. Plans were drafted a
number of years ago. It would be something that could move forward without a
lot of delay if monies become available.
The second project mentioned was working on enhancing
trails—walking, bicycle, ATVs, OHVs, etc.
This would provide other activities available to visitors to the area
and perhaps have a positive effect on the present impact on the lake.
The Commissioners are looking forward to the gun range. However, they feel that the state lands
people need to be the head of the project because the tentative spot for this
project is on state lands. A public
hearing needs to be held when summer home owners are in the area. They should have a say in where this project
is built. That means not much can be
done until summer. They, however, feel
this project definitely needs to be pursued.
Poulsen noted that Tour Utah will be coming to Rich County
this coming summer. They will be taking
off from Davis County
or Logan on the
Monday prior to Raspberry Days. They
will go through Logan Canyon , around the lake, and back to Logan in one day. The race is well known, advertising is
tremendous for the activity, and it is extremely well handled. There are approximately 120 to 130 riders who
participate in the race.
