Utah's Initiative One

The city of Bluffdale City has preserved this 30-acre parcel with help from a state open space fund. Backers of Initiative One believe much more land could be protected from development if voters approve it on November 2nd.

Salt Lake City, UT – Both opponents and backers of Initiative One on Utah's fall ballot agree that protecting open space is a worthy goal.

KUER's Dan Bammes looks at both sides of the debate over Utah's Open Space Initiative.
