Show Orem-Geneva Times 1 i Wednesday, October 16, 1991 Page 15 .. Early completion of Orem Boulevard i.,S-,W V L-r-; V'V ' - By Clyde E. Weeks Curbs and gutters have been constructed along much of Orem Boulevard, between 400 North and 800 North where a $500,000 street project is underway. According Ac-cording to Ott Dameron, Director of Public Works for the City of Orem, this is the last leg of the major thoroughfare project. Orem Boulevard, the north-south north-south street which has been open for several years from 1200 South to 400 North, is now being extended ex-tended to 800 North, according to Dameron. "Condie Construction Company Com-pany has the contract for the project which will relieve the traffic traf-fic congestion in the north part of the city," he said. "The completion date is Nov. 15, 1991." In connection with the com pletion of Orem Boulevard, 700 North Street is also being im- E roved from Orem Boulevard to tate Street. Curbs and gutters are being installed there, as well as new asphalt paving. Orem Boulevard is being constructed con-structed on the former right-of-way of the Salt Lake and Utah Railroad (Orem) line which was built here in 1915. Following the demise of the railroad after World War II, the railroad property was given to the City of Orem for municipal use. CURBS AND SIDEWALKS According to Dameron, Orem Boulevard is being paved to a 44-foot 44-foot width with curb, gutter and sidewalk on the west side from 400 North to 800 North. Curb and gutter is being placed on the east side of the street, along with some sidewalk in the area of the Mon-A-Lea Mobile Home Park. Meanwhile, work is also underway un-derway on 1600 North Street where Orem and Lindon are cooperating in the lowering of the hill at 1050 West to provide a gradual slope to the freeway. Orem and Lindon each own half of the street and are sharing the costs of the construction project. Another major project involving involv-ing the Department of Public Works is the Northridge Park which is being built next to the Northridge Elementary School. This park, being patterned after a number of other parks constructed con-structed adjacent to elementary schools, will be completed this fall, according to Dameron. Heavy machinery is busy working on the construction of the last leg of Orem Boulevard, being built between 400 North and 800 North. This intersection at 700 North is also being improved with curbs and gutters, as well as a new asphalt street.

Provo is looking at small, scattered scat-tered twin home projects but said building more student apartments apart-ments is not a solution. He said young married people working at the fast growing high tech industries in-dustries in the area are taking over the student housing. 'We need an affordable housing program," pro-gram," he said. Financing from winning a $1 million lawsuit will go towards affordable housing and a recently approved consortium consor-tium will provide funding for low and moderate income housing, he said. Jenkins also discussed expansion expan-sion plans at the airport along with recycling and conservation programs. He said a new interchange inter-change in south Provo will carry traffic directly into East Bay and will alleviate much of the traffic congestion in that area. HOUSING Still riding the wave of Money Magazine's pronouncement of Utah Valley as a great place to live, realtors are seeing a drastic and urgent need for nice, clean housingin good repair, saidBrent DeMille, President of the Utah County Association of Realtors. While the area is a great place to live, it is also the least affordable affor-dable based on income, he said. The valley also needs more rentals. ren-tals. There have been increased foreclosures because tax advantages ad-vantages have been taken away, he said, and builders are not yet meeting the market. 'We are just now entering a phase of profits and fix-up as higher rents make it possible for owners to finance needed repairs," said DeMille. He also advised that subsidized sub-sidized housing is not the answer for the housing shortage and will create problems in the future. "We need to provide incentives to fill the needs of the homeless," he said. "Everybody has to give a little." UVEDA Richard Bradford, chairman of the Utah Valley Economic Development Association (UVEDA), said the mission of UVEDA is to facilitate expansion of local business and industry, attract at-tract new companies to the area, and to coordinate economic activities ac-tivities between the cities. He cited Novell as an example of a company that came into the valley with two employees and now has 4,000. "It's important to give that assistance," he said, no matter how small the company is." ' Bradford said economic development (including the high PUBLIC NOTICES Public Notice Advertising Protects Your Right to Know i tech industry) in the area has netted approximately 6,000 new jobs in the past two years. OREM DEVELOPMENT CEDO (Commission for Economic Public Hearing Slated October 15 development m urem;, saia tne challenge of CEDO is to "provide jobs for graduate students of Brigham Young University and Utah Valley Community College." Col-lege." He said he is excited about the soon to be available incubator space that will provide fledgling businesses with space, monitoring monitor-ing and supervision while they are in the formative stages. "If they are making progress, they can stay. When they are strong enough they will qualify for Orem's Revolving Loan Fund," he said. More than $2 million has been loaned to small businesses in Orem. They are primarily loans to provide jobs, he added. JOB MARKET Larry Rhodes said there were 17,000 job openings this year. Job Service placed about 23 of those. Rhodes said there is a shortage of labor in skilled trades such as electricians, plumbers, carpenters car-penters and in the service areas. He also said job growth is excellent excel-lent in the valley with unemployment unemploy-ment comparatively low. "Indicators "In-dicators of a healthy economy," he said. COUNTY PROJECTS County Commissioner Malcolm Mal-colm Beck said studies continue on Utah Lake projects and to develop a parkway from Provo River to Jordan River. Beck also perceives practicality prac-ticality in consolidating the County Coun-ty Sheriffs Dept. with surrounding surround-ing cities. He said larger fail facilities are necessary but no decision has been made on the locality. The remodeled county building build-ing will be a show pi ace when it is complete, he said. "It is one of the grandest buildings in the United States." , i Beck also talked of water aricl said the challenge is to make sure the water taken by CUP does not affect Utah Lake level and to make sure Strawberry diversions get water.
