Show Lakeside Review, Wednesday, October 30, 1985 Clinton industry studied APRIL ADAMS Review Staff CLINTON How will Clinton develop in upcoming years? Will it remain a bedroom community with a few thousand residents, or evolve into a busy commercial or industrial center? These- are the questions Clinton City officials are hoping will be answered in a study undertaken by four people employed by the the research firm of Arthur Young. The company is associated with Arthur Young Interna- four phases. The first piece of data to be completed will be a perception survey, said project leader Craig Bott. This is not a statistical sampling, but a survey of key community leaders and outside business people who represent the predominant perception of the area, Bott said. About 25 of the surveys will be completed. Each interview takes an hour or so, he said. Executive committee strategy tional, an accounting and sessions will be conducted.

Logan, Cache County and Salt Lake area communities are having similar studies performed. Three research firms, all from Salt Lake City, were considered to undertake the study. ' On Oct. 8, Smith made his recommendation to the City Council to hire the firm of Arthur Young. The city has been working closely with the Davis County Economic Development Office in Farmington, he said. The county has a loan program developed to entice new business into the area, which may be useful if Clinton decides to pursue the business route. Funding for the study, to cost approximately $15,000, comes from the federal Community Development Block Grant program administered by Housing and Urban Development. The citys sources of revenue are very limited. Funding comes mainly from property tax, which collects about $229,600 a year; sales tax, another $141,000; and a franchise tax which collects $108,000. New industry or retail business would expand the citys tax base. four-perce- nt WIMMER'S 64TH ANNIVERSARY SALE A EXTENDED THRU THIS SAT.

Mitch Larrson, Antelope Island park manager, said, The ferry will open to the public the middle of March if weather permits. If unstable or bad weather, the park will not open until the first of April. We are very pleased to once again host vistors at the park. An estimated 5,000 to 6,000 vistors " service this past year. Vistors have expressed that being fenried to Antelope Island State Park was a new and exciting way to experience the Great Salt Lake as well as the park, Larrson said. Larrson also added that next year would provide a longer season, due to contracts already being negotiated. Because of the discontinuance of the ferry service, recreationers, par- ticularly boaters and hikers, are urged to observe the closure of the park. Facilities have been winterized and park personnel have been assigned, other winter duties, according to the State of Utah Parks and Recreation services. Persons failing to observe the closure can be arrested and fined. Larrson looks for another successful year. The people serviced by the first year ferry doubled in number for every month the park was opened, Larrson concluded. The state park closed as of Sept 1.
