House approves appropriation request for new Utah State Botanical Center site
Summary
Lawmakers approved House Bill 76, an appropriation request for infrastructure at a new Utah State Botanical Center site near Kaysville; sponsors said the appropriation will fund access roads, parking, irrigation and utilities ahead of an interchange project; the bill passed 44–26.
A floor member outlined House Bill 76, requesting appropriations to fund infrastructure at a new Utah State Botanical Center site in Kaysville. The sponsor said Utah State acquired about 94 acres in the area and needs funds to pay for public access, service roads, parking, irrigation connections and utilities so the center can move ahead of a planned interchange construction.
The sponsor described the site as part of the governor’s open‑space initiative and said the appropriation would reimburse certain displacement costs through the Department of Transportation but would not cover the infrastructure needs. The House debated the measure briefly and then voted; the record shows 44 yes votes and 26 no votes. The bill passed and will be forwarded to the Senate for consideration.
