Carbon County boards weigh land donation, contracts; planning hearings set
No decisions have been published from the county's most recent meetings, but the agendas that came out this week put a land donation and several contracts before the Board of Commissioners and Board of Equalization. The most significant item is a proposal to donate a parcel to Helper City for an All Wheels Park, which appears on both boards' Aug. 19 agendas. Minutes for these meetings have not yet been released, so no votes or outcomes are available.
