Duchesne' County Beslpciieci iy Government As Dispersed Area Senator Bennett Author Of Bill In Congress Senator Wallace F. Bennett announced an-nounced this week that Duchesne County has been designated by the Federal Government as a dispersed dis-persed area, making it eligible for new industries which are seeking more secure sites for expansion. Senator Bennett, who wrote the dispersal legislation passed by the last session of Congress, had asked last week for dispersal designation for those Utah counties which had not previously been classified. The new ruling makes the county eligible for new defense installations, instal-lations, industrial plants, testing installations, or other facilities affecting af-fecting national defense or supplying sup-plying goods to the Federal Government. The Secretary of Commerce notified Senator Bennett that on the basis of population and industrial indus-trial concentrations the county meets the dispersal requirements set up in the law, and that no further action will be necessaryy to certify the county. "The door is now open for new defense establishments to come into in-to the newly certified counties of the state, and I am hopeful that we will see more of them come here in the near future," Senator Bennett said. "Further concentration concen-tration of such facilities on the West Coast is now being curtailed, and it is up to us to make sure that Utah gets its share of this new industry." He noted that several counties have prepared brochures pointing out the economic advantages of their area, and recommended that other counties of the state take similar action.
