'j years NEARLY 60 stores opened of landclearing, streetbuilding and construction, the Layton Hills Mall formally opened its doors Thursday morning. MARKING THE occasion were Utah Gov. Scott M. Matheson, Layton Mayor G. Lewis Shields and a host of financial and business officials closely connected with construction of the $45 million facility. Amid threatening skies, a large crowd gathered as a clown entertained and the Davis High School jazz ensem- ble provided stiring, approp- riate music just before the 10 a.m. ceremonies. THE ceremonies, was David M. Horne, president of general contractors Horne Construction of LEADING Murray. I would really like to pay tribute to the city council, building engineering department and the secretaries at Layton City. I dont think theres ever been a development where people have been he said. more cooperative, He related a history of the area that called the Kaysville-Layto- n region, one of the most forbidding areas of the valley and said the mall site at Fairfield and Interstate 15 was farmed by Layton founder Christopher Layton in the 1800s. THE FIRST land was purchased Dec. 31, 1976 and it n years usually takes to develop (such a project). This was completed in 3 'i years, he noted. It will be the hub (layton) of Davis County from now on, Mr. Horne continued. five-seve- "The cost, including the home center complex was $45 million.

Some last minute painting and installation was going on moments before the opening ceremony. More than 100 tenants are expected to occupy the mall and home center areas by fall, Mr. Home said. Also participating was Layton Mayor Shields who said, Ive never mentioned how grateful I am for the opportunity to be mayor and to be a part of this great mall. Its a facility we can certainly be proud off. IM GRATEFUL for the people who gave up their prop-ert- y . committee has all but ruled out Skypark Airport in Woods Cross as a possible commercial airport." Mr. Moore said the study shows that there are too many drawbacks to the present airport site, although there are some plus factors for the airport as well. and sacrificed their homes," he continued. There were some streets Idaho, and Montana streets that were closed. Those people were relocated and compensated, he explained. "Several years ago the city took a survey of what they (residents) wanted commercially and this is the result. Were just thrilled. This is something the citizens have wanted for a long time. ECHOING THAT enthusiasm Gov. Matheson said, This is an example of whats going on in the state on a posi- tive note. In the 60s when we were trying to develop a sound economic base we were in a little trouble. The Layton Hills Mall is a perfect example of good management and good growth. Ive been calculating the sales tax, and the mayor and I can be very grateful, he said jokingly. On a more serious note he continued, There are 2,400 jobs jobs for people bom and raised here and who want to live here and partici pate in the quality of life in Utah. You have to have an economic base and this is a perfect example of whats right with Utah. I see nothing but good flowing from it. THE MALL covers nearly 500,000 square feet and features a 3,000 car parking lot surrounding the facility. It contains two levels of shops accented in the center court of the lower level with a fountain and special lighting.

The privately owned airport serves a good purpose now for local pilots as well as many private planes that use the facility, several of them te businessmen, said Mr. Moore. HE NOTED that a large industrial development is planned in the area and developers are basing their success much on the continued and improved use of the airport. The study covered the Wasatch Front counties of Djvi.. Utah, Suit Lake. We- ber, Tooele and Morgan. MR. MOORE explained that it would be especially difficult. but not impossible for a privately owned airport to receive federal aid for expansion. But it would be easier for a publicly owned facility to get the federal funds approv- al, the planning director added. He explained that Skypark Airport would have to extend its runway at least 1 ,000 feet to accommodate commercial aircraft. THERE ALSO would have to be several other improvements and new facilities to bring the facility up to standard," he said. Commission Chairman Glen W. Flint asked about alternate sites in Davis County, villearea. MOST OF north Davis County is in the Hill Air Force Base flight pattern and much of south Davis County is in the Salt Lake International Airport flight pattern, said Mr. Moore. "Thats one big reason Davis County didnt get too much attention in the study. He said Utah and Tooele counties are the "most likely sites" for a new commercial airport. THE STUDY also disclosed that Salt Lake Airport is fast becoming overcrowded and causing considerable delay time with departures." The planner noted that the study showed delay time" is now causing $7.13 million a year annd this could reach $43 million by 2000.
