Salt Lake City Mayor Jackie Biskupski wants to stop a controversial development on a large swath of the city’s northwest side from moving forward while the court considers her lawsuit.
The move to seek an injunction was part of an amended lawsuit filed Monday against the governor, the state of Utah and the Inland Port Authority Board in the 3rd District Court. If granted, it would keep the port authority from spending or committing any of the city’s property tax increment or sales tax to the project, as well as prohibit it from any planning, design or construction until the lawsuit is settled.
