RANDOLPH, Utah. May
1, 2019. Mitch Poulsen, Bear Lake
Regional Commission, asked the County to adopt a resolution for an enterprise
zone to help with economic development. Enterprise
Zones are areas created by the Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development
to encourage economic growth and development in specified areas by providing
tax breaks to development projects within these boundaries. The unincorporated
area of the county will be considered as an enterprise zone. The Governor’s office
will be asked to designate it. This is a five
year designation. The County did
adopt the resolution.
CIB (Community Impact Board)
has a $20,000 grant for developing a comprehensive plan for Rich County. The last plan, according to Poulsen, was
completed in 1996. It is a matching
grant. The County’s portion for the match could be the money already given to
BLRC. Poulsen said that he could write
the grant and do the plan since the BLRC needs money.
Commissioner Bill Cox said there is a program out of BYU which is looking
for counties that need to do comprehensive plans and have them developed by students.
He thought that it would cost about $14,000.
Poulsen said he has been approached by Nate Parry for a
Special Events Permit permit for a
summer concert series on the weekend at the Sweetwater Golf Course on the
driving range. The
concerts will be given by Lone Peak Entertainment every week during the
summer and must be over by 10 p.m.
