Killyon Canyon Opportunity

A key Killyon Canyon parcel is being offered by two sellers who are keen on seeing the property preserved as open space. They have been working for the last two years with Utah Open Lands who brought the project to the SL County Open Space Committee. At that time the committee voted to allocate $900,000 in funds. Utah Open Lands was successful in securing a grant from the LeRay McAllister Critical Lands Fund and has received a pledge from Salt Lake City Public Utilities bringing the total raised so far to $1.2 million. A contribution from Salt Lake City currently hangs in the balance.

What Needs to be Done By October 15

1. Please write to Mayor Becker and ask him to carry through on the citys promises to help preserve a parcel of land that is well-loved by city residents. Please ask your family, friends, and neighbors and those who care about preserving remaining open spaces close to home to write too.

2. Please write to the Salt Lake County Council and Mayor Peter Corroon and express your support for protecting Killyon Canyon open space. Please take time to thank the County for the funding that is already allocated, and ask them to do whatever they can to make this project a reality.

3. Donate to the fund to preserve Killyon Canyon at Utah Open Lands. You can do this by visiting their website and making your donation to this critical open space effort. There is also fly-over orientation video of the parcel and an incredible collection of photos that can be viewed at their site. All funds will be used strictly in the purchase of this property.
