Resident urges rejection of RDA program, cites Utah Constitution
Summary
During the public hearing on the tentative 2026 RDA budget, Diana Hardy Bridal of the Box Elder Committee of Liberty urged the agency to oppose RDAs, saying the program violates the Utah Constitution and criticizing daytime meeting scheduling that limits public attendance.
Diana Hardy Bridal, identifying herself with the Box Elder Committee of Liberty, addressed the RDA public hearing and urged the agency to oppose the redevelopment program. Bridal criticized the daytime scheduling of the meeting, saying it prevents working residents from attending, and told commissioners she believes RDAs violate the Utah Constitution.
Bridal said, "We do oppose the redevelopment program because it is violating our Utah constitution, article 12, section 20," and cited examples of businesses she said have benefited from incentives, naming Walmart and Procter & Gamble. The agency did not provide a legal response during the hearing; commissioners closed the public hearing after comments and proceeded with the tentative budget vote.
