Summary
The commission approved a resolution to opt in to state programming marking the nation's upcoming 250th anniversary, designating a committee and signaling partnership with the Freedom Festival and UVU’s Center for Constitutional Studies.
On June 11 the Utah County Commission approved a resolution to join state-led programming for the nation’s upcoming 250th anniversary and to form a county committee to coordinate local events.
Commissioner Beltran explained the county is opting into a state program that encourages counties to plan commemorative programming and said Utah County will partner with existing local organizations, including the Freedom Festival and Utah Valley University’s Center for Constitutional Studies, to coordinate events.
