Western Uranium's silence has raised eyebrows at the Emery County Economic Development Board meeting, as officials revealed they haven't heard from the company in over a year. The last significant communication was a request for a letter that never materialized due to a lack of provided language for review. Despite this, Western Uranium has been active, reportedly visiting the Jesse's Twist site multiple times a year to assess an old uranium mine.

Board members expressed concern over the lack of direct communication, noting that updates have only come through public publications rather than direct engagement. The company did participate in a recent grant initiative aimed at enhancing local infrastructure, which included plans for a road into the industrial park, a key area for future development.

As the board prepares to reconnect with Western Uranium, the focus remains on ensuring that the potential for economic growth through mining and infrastructure development is not lost. The anticipated discussions could pave the way for renewed collaboration and clarity on the company's intentions in the region.
