Aspen, Utah?It looks like Utah might get another town and ski resort at the same time. A real estate developer named Dean Sellers has just submitted incorporation papers for a brand new Utah town called Aspen.According to Sellers, Aspen would have a ski resort comparable in quality to Deer Valley, a golf course, high end retail and commercial developments, and some residential living as well. It sounds like the idea is to make it as ritzy as possible to attract as much money as possible. You can bet that many people will have strong opinions about that. In fact, I looked at most of the comments written in response to an article on this topic in the Deseret News, and judging from that, opposition is strong among Heber locals. Those who commented may just be the vocal ones for all I know, but they were very vocal. Then again, there were lots of comments from people who welcome the idea, saying that anything that brings tax money into the state is only a good thing. I agree that that would be a plus. This Aspen plan would surely bring in a load of out of state dollars. Keep your eye on this one, although it may be some 25 years before the city is fully built out. |
