In a recent government meeting, the focus was on three annexation approvals for Willard City, aimed at creating an island within Boxelder County. Commissioner Bingham highlighted the importance of connecting local farmers with resources, emphasizing the community's agricultural ties.
Bob Davis, representing the first annexation proposal, explained that the annexation is intended to establish a memorial park in honor of his late wife. He noted that the county lacks a parks department, which motivated his initiative. The county attorney clarified that the commission's role was not to approve the annexation itself but to consent to the creation of an island as part of the annexation process, which has already received approval from Willard City.
Following Davis, Nathan Rose presented his application for annexation of parcels located on the east side of Highway 89, near Willard Bay Gardens. This proposal has also been approved by Willard City. The meeting concluded with both annexation proposals receiving unanimous support from the commissioners, reflecting a commitment to community development and honoring local heritage.
