The project would involve rebuilding the street between Main and Sixth East, using next years accumulation of funds from Utahs gasoline tax fund for collector roads.

The property, in three parcels, is located on the southwest corner of the intersection at Eleventh South and Main street. In reaction to the disclosure, Mayor Ole Zundel sent a letter to Robert Coleman, commission chairman, advising him to present it to the city planning commission before proceding further. It would also be my suggestion you visit with the downtown mer chants committee to get their feelings on this venture before any formal committment is made, he wrote. commission industrial The reportedly discussed, with concern, the affect such an outlying shopping center would have on the downtown business district and reaction by the merchants.

Coleman said a similar shopping center in a community of this size in California held more than $8 million of that citys payroll inside the community. However, the industrial panel deferred making a formal resolution until such time as all the property is acquired. In his letter, Mayor Zundel made these other points: Brigham City corporation has expended some $6,500 as our portion on the county master plan which is now in its final phase. The present city master plan indicates there is commercial ground already zoned for a municipality of 35,000 population. We are going to be faced with many growth factors and requests over the next few years as Brigham City progresses. It will take all of our efforts pulling together, and especially with proper planning, to develop our community for the future. |
