On Wednesday, March 24, Utah Power presented the county with a $7,500 donation for the project. Utah Powers contribution, along with funding from the Utah Permanent Community Impact Fund Board (CIB) and donations of labor and materials from several local contractors, have made construction of the larger, more modern facility possible, says Judy Bane, county administrator. Pete Duran, director of the Food Bank, says the new building includes more space for food storage and will allow the agency to better serve the needs of Grand County residents.
