The Inland Port Authority Board formed this summer, yet snow covered the yet-to-be-developed ground in Salt Lake City’s westernmost area last week as policymakers, community advocates and board members toured the site of the future distribution hub.
The board’s work in overseeing the development — which has been billed as the state’s largest ever economic development undertaking — has been slow, Sen. Gregg Buxton, R-Roy, told a legislative committee on Monday.
Though he thinks there are “good people” on the board, he questioned whether some members are fully committed to the project’s success. And he seemed to indicate that constant “bombardment” from community advocates at the board’s monthly public meetings have slowed things down, as well.
