A looming boundary dispute between Millcreek and Salt Lake City over Brickyard Plaza shopping center is on hold after leaders agreed to negotiate instead of fight the issue out on Utah’s Capitol Hill.
Rep. Val Potter, R-North Logan, confirmed Wednesday that he has agreed to abandon HB262, which would have altered state laws on annexation to give Millcreek a chance to absorb the 23-acre retail center without Salt Lake City’s consent.
Potter said he’d met with leaders from both cities last week and they emerged “positive and upbeat” about the prospects of resolving the issue, eliminating the need for his legislation.
