Show Standard-Examine- MAY 7, 1998 Company again looking at By BRYON SAXTON Standard-Examin- Davis Bureau CLEARFIELD - Utility Trailer Co. officials, despite being turned away there once, are looking to Clearfield a second time for a site to build a $20 million semi- trailer manufacturing plant. Arthur Goolsbee, Utility Trailer finance director, said he is working with City Manager Jack Bippes and Mayor Thomas Waggoner in exhausting their options there before going elsewhere to build the plant. Were trying to explore with the city other options. Were a long-tercitizen, we hope, he said. For several years Utility Trailer Co. officials have discussed building a 450,000- m Womens issues to be WtfW aasBi VOL 17, NO. 55 j DAVIS COUNTYS COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER t manufacturing plant to meet the demands of their growing business because there is no room to expand at their much smaller plant in the Freeport Center. The industrial park is at 99.6 percent capacity. That plan was detoured in February when the city council denied a rezone request of 55 acres of farmland at 600 E. 1700 South the company had bought years ago to build on. The city council by a 4-- 1 vote sided with about 20 residents who opposed having the manufacturing plant as a neighbor. The council was also reluctant to open to manufacturing the area it has set aside for large quality homes. The action sent local cities scurrying to make way for Utility Trailer with 550 employees and $130 million in annual sales. But efforts of those other cities are taking a back seat now that it appears Clear square-foo- Clearfield for site of plant r field and the company are patching things up. Goolsbee, from the companys corporate headquarters in the City of Industry, Calif., said the councils decision did throw a hurdle in their path and did delay the project they believed was going to be accepted the first time. But Goolsbee said the company is not bitter about it and it will not prevent them from breaking ground somewhere on a new plant sometime this summer. We do have good prospects, Gools-bc- e said of some Clearfield area locations, declining to reveal where they are until agreements are reached. City Manager Jack Bippes said Utility Trailer has always had a desire to stay in Clearfield and the city has a desire to keep them. We are working with them, he said. But Bippes said the council will not re visit the farmland site Utility Trailer first showed interest in. He said this is prime land he suspects the company will sell for ' prime residential development. Goolsbee said this time Utility Trailer will approach city leaders armed with more evidence of the economic benefit they provide a community in gaining approval. Goolsbee said the company does not want to leave the Wasatch Front because the labor force is of such high quality and because they have a Salt Lake City dealership that would be affected. We certainly would prefer to stay, he said. Bippes said Utility Trailer is a super citizen of the community and is involved in many efforts, including the United Way. He said they are also a good neighbor, - See UTILI7Y2 Making beautiful music together explored By RUTH MALAN LAYTON - Do you need to know how to communicate with your teenagers?
