County officials plan AgriPark development to bolster local food security

Levan Town Council has taken significant steps towards enhancing local governance and community resources during their meeting on July 10, 2025. A key highlight was the approval of a training session for office staff scheduled for August 14, aimed at improving their skills in budget and finance management. The council agreed to close the office early that day to allow staff participation, emphasizing the importance of continuous professional development.

In addition to staff training, the council discussed the potential for updated mapping services. A recent grant for mapping has opened opportunities for the town to enhance its zoning and utility maps. Council members expressed enthusiasm about the prospect of producing larger, more detailed maps to aid in community planning and utility management.

Another major topic was the AgriPark project, which involves the purchase of 920 acres of land between Nephi and Mona. This initiative aims to create a mini city focused on agro-processing, which would support local farmers by providing facilities for processing fruits, meats, and other agricultural products. The project is designed to bolster food security in the region by keeping more agricultural products local.

These discussions reflect the council's commitment to improving community services and supporting local agriculture, which are expected to have lasting benefits for residents in Levan and surrounding areas. As the AgriPark project progresses and staff training takes place, the council is poised to enhance both governance and community resilience.
