March 26, 1981 Enterprises should fill industrial park, members say Lisa Eyre Maurice Chapman and Dale Worwood met with the Nephi City Council March 18 as repre-- . sentatives of Nephi Enterprises. Concern and resentment were expressed over the councils plan to allow Price Development to develop Nephis industrial park. Chapman told the council that Nephi Enterprises has an exclusive contract for park development, and that any should go through them. Nephi Enterprises has officially had this option for one year, and council members pointed out that they havent performed yet. Chapman countered that the economy and especially high interest rates have been a big deterent in the growth of business in the area. He said that Nephi Enterprises members are qualified and should be allowed to continue their work. Councilman Ernest Wilson, who was instrumental in getting Price Development interested in the park, said that part of his motive in doing so was to light a ; fire under Nephi Enterprises, ' and get them working to fill the . park. Chapman said that the tactic had worked, saying maybe thats spurred us on. ; .Worwood said that Nephi terprises now has two or three businesses that are interested in locating in the park, and that letters and inquiries are being sent out to many businesses. He said that local people have worked on the industrial park project for ten years, and he thinks that Nephi Enterprises should continue to control the development of the park. s Laura Lee Osborne Denise Wankier sub-contra- ct At JHS auditorium Saturday night Eight will compete tor Miss crown, scholarships Nephi and Lisa Miss Nephi for 1981 will be selected Saturday, March 28, 1981 at the Juab High School auditorium.

Provo City power director Bud Bonnett explained the importance of building and operating the plant. He said that currently Utah communities have only two options for obtaining electricity buying it from Utah Power and Light or from the Colorado River Storage Project.

A preliminary report says the air quality of the area is very good, so UMA has a green light for further action. The next step in getting the plant built is purchasing enough water to support its operation, says Whitehead. An offer has been made for the water, which would come from Ulah Lake, and the board should know within six weeks whether the offer has been accepted. The offered price was not disclosed, but one representative said that the bid price will be only one tenth of the amount that the Intermountain Power Project is paying for their water. If UMA is able to buy this water, it will then work with the individual city councils to get financing. By working together as an association, board members hope that the burden of building the plant and buying the water wont be too great on each municipality. Clark Bigler of Payson, the business manager of UMA, said that even if the power plant is not completed for some reason, the water purchased is a safe investment and could be resold. Bigler also commented on the passage of Senate Bill 188 which, if upheld, will virtually kill UMAs chances of taking over Please turn to page four Mayor Leon Pexton qualified the councils position, explaining that it was never its intention to exclude Nephi Enterprises entirely from the development of the park, and that any contract with Price would have to reflect that position.

Air Force Nephi wants no MX workers At their meeting of March 18, the Nephi City Council voted unanimously to inform Air Force officials that Nephi would rather not have MX missile site construction workers locate here. A study is being done by the U.S. Air Force to determine whether or not to bring the families of construction workers to the area, and how much association with these workers is desired by local communities. Mayor Leon Pexton said that other area municipalities had made their decisions, too. At an Association of Governments meeting, which the mayor attended, representatives from Juab County, Mona, and Juab County School District all said that they desired no impact from the construction phase of the site.
