House backs joint resolution supporting Beaver County training center
Summary
The House passed SJR 10 supporting an alternative training center in Beaver County, highlighting local renewable energy projects as context. The resolution passed on the floor with no recorded opposition.
The Utah House voted to support Senate Joint Resolution 10 on March 4, a measure that would back establishment of an alternative training center in Beaver County. Representative Noel, named in the record as the House sponsor, described Beaver County's emerging renewable energy projects — including geothermal and a newly commissioned thermal hot springs plant and a 200‑megawatt wind project — as reasons the training center would be locally valuable.
"Many of you know that Beaver County has kind of become the center for renewable energy," Representative Noel said, citing student and instructor initiatives that helped site a local wind project. The sponsor said the joint resolution would support workforce and technical training in that region.
The clerk recorded the resolution as passing the House on the floor with 72 yes and 0 no; the measure was to be signed by the Speaker and returned to the Senate for the President's signature.
