Naturally such an industry is going to go where financing is available, if financing is a problem. An area with no plan is simply out of luck." Utah County legislators have been given unanimous approval to sponsor the plan by representatives of nearly every city in the county, Brigham Young University, Greater Utah Valley, Inc., which comprises n group of 100 civic leaders, other businessmen, farm representatives and county officials.
