Summary
Utah's Patchwork Parkway committee submitted its 2026 annual report and asked Panguitch City for a $1,500 contribution toward a proposed operating budget and match for an interpretive‑kiosk grant; the packet details kiosk costs, a UOR grant application and other marketing projects.
Utah's Patchwork Parkway committee provided an annual report and a proposed operating budget requesting a $1,500 contribution from Panguitch City for FY2026–27, according to materials in the March 10 council packet.
The committee described a plan to construct nine interpretive kiosks as part of a byway interpretive-signage project. The group said a prior FHWA byway construction cycle came in substantially over budget, prompting a reprioritization of funding sources. For a replacement UOR (Utah Outdoor Recreation Grant) application the packet lists local-match numbers: Panguitch’s proposed cash match of $6,002.63 and $7,175.54 in-kind; Parowan and Brian Head are listed with their own proposed matches.
Other items in the report include a planned new billboard on I‑15 south of Exit 75, website rebuilding to promote activities and lodging along the byway, social‑media marketing partnerships, and a proposed operating budget that allocates funds for billboard lease, social ads, website hosting and a part‑time coordinator. The 2026 operating budget summary in the packet lists a small operating reserve and line items for advertising, kiosk materials, and coordinator compensation.
The council materials do not record a vote on the funding request; the document is presented as the byway committee’s request and annual report for council consideration.
