During a recent government meeting, community members expressed their frustration over the prolonged closure of a historic building in Lehi, which they believe should be reopened for public use. The building, one of only two depots west of the Mississippi and the oldest in the city, was originally intended for educational purposes. However, it has been repurposed for other uses, leading to concerns about its accessibility to residents.

Speakers emphasized the strong community desire to see the building reopened, highlighting that many individuals are eager to contribute to this effort. They questioned the legal barriers preventing the building's reopening, particularly in light of its current use by the Chamber of Commerce. Community members urged city officials to reconsider the situation and provide clearer communication regarding the obstacles they face.

One speaker suggested a meeting with legal counsel to gain a better understanding of the issues at play, expressing frustration over the lack of transparency. The sentiment among attendees was one of urgency, as they seek to resolve the matter and allow the community to benefit from the historical site once again. The meeting underscored a significant disconnect between community aspirations and the legal complexities that hinder progress.
