In a packed meeting Tuesday, more than 50 people urged the Salt Lake City Council, acting as the city’s redevelopment agency, to reject a proposal that would grant up to $28 million in tax increment reimbursement to a developer seeking to build a 3,000 acre industrial development in the city’s northwest side.
Phase one of the project, located in the inland port boundaries on about 378 acres directly north of the North Temple Landfill, could create up to 2,900 jobs and is expected to generate 6 million square feet of light industrial space across an estimated 10 warehouses.
