The $500,000 transaction involves 100 acres at 21st South Street and Redwood Road, vest of present pres-ent improvements at the Industrial Indus-trial center, and 200 acres running in a corridor of 110 to 200 feet wide between 21st South Street and 10th West Street where the utility is currently constructing a $1 million substation. E. M. Naughton, UP&L president, presi-dent, said the 100-acre plot west of industrial center was purchased as a long range potential site for a steam-electric plant. The land corridor running from the plant site to the sib-station west of Midvale will - ultimately carry as many as three power lines of various voltages to serve as a transmission grid from which distribution dis-tribution lines will run to saturate the valley with power. In addition to the large substation sub-station southwest of Midvale, another an-other substation will be constructed construct-ed in the corridor at 30th South to step down high voltages for distribution for residential and commercial use. Mr. Naughton said the construction construc-tion of the Midvale substation will be completed by mid-summer in time to receive power from the firm's 100,000 kilowatt Carbon plant second unit now nearing completion at Castle Gate. Work is almost two-thirds completed' com-pleted' on a. $2 million, high voltage volt-age line that will connect the Castle Gate, coal-burning plant to the Midvale substaition. When completed the. line will provide an additional route over which electricity from the mine-mouth mine-mouth plant in Carbon county can be wheeled to northern load centers. cen-ters. Total land acquisition and easements ease-ments for the future plant site, Salt Lake valley corridor and right of way far the line to Carbon plant involves 354 acres and an investment of more than $500,000, excluding installation of improvements. improve-ments. Mr. Naughton said careful consideration con-sideration to the selection of the land was given in order to satisfy future development of the valley and yet hot interfere with residential resi-dential or industrial development. |
