The Salt Lake City School District estimates it could lose up to $500 million over the next 25 years in property tax revenue for the area now under control of the Inland Port Authority Board. It also worries about how the massive global trade hub planned for Salt Lake City’s westernmost area could affect students’ education in the face of growth and the possibility for worsened air quality.
But although a spokeswoman estimates the district is “the largest taxing entity” affected by the port, it doesn’t have a seat on the 11-member board created to oversee the development — and it doesn’t appear it will get one any time soon.
