Daggett County receives praise for economic development publication in UB Davis

During the Daggett County Commission meeting on March 4, 2025, officials highlighted the importance of community engagement and support for local projects. One of the key discussions centered around the positive recognition Daggett County received from economic development representatives across Utah, following a publication in UB Davis. This acknowledgment reflects the county's ongoing efforts to promote its unique offerings and attract visitors.

Commissioners also discussed the effectiveness of social media in disseminating information. A recent post on the Flaming Gorge Facebook page was noted for its success in reaching residents and sharing important updates. Additionally, the county has initiated a call for photographs from the community, which has already yielded impressive submissions showcasing the area's natural beauty. This initiative not only fosters community involvement but also enhances the county's visual representation in promotional materials.

Another significant topic was the Taylor Flat Airstrip project. The commission received an email from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) regarding the public scoping period for this project. Commissioners expressed their intent to draft a letter of support, emphasizing the importance of the airstrip for local pilots and the broader community. This project has garnered backing from various associations, indicating a strong community interest in its development.

Overall, the meeting underscored Daggett County's commitment to fostering community connections and supporting initiatives that enhance the quality of life for its residents. As these projects move forward, the commission aims to keep the public informed and engaged, ensuring that local voices are heard in the decision-making process.
