Greenhalgh suggested area municipalities look at what kinds of incentives they could provide to get businesses to locate in Juab County. 08411 Jan 19 m, Im not suggesting that you give away the farm, but we need to take a good, hard, honest look at what we have to offer, he - continued.

Such companies would pay a much higher license fee. McKnight said he knew of one municipality that charged $300 for such a license.
