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
-
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.

Killyon Canyon open space. Please take time to thank the County for the funding that is already allocated,
