At the Nov. 19 public hearing on the Redevelopment Agency's tentative FY2026 budget, DeAnna Hardy of Brigham City addressed the board and said the Box Elder Committee of Liberty objected to the agency's redevelopment activities. Hardy asked why the hearing was held during the day "when more people could attend in the evening" and stated that the committee "opposes the redevelopment program as it is violating the Utah Constitution. The government is not supposed to be creating monopolies and businesses."
Hardy urged the Members to "stand and defend the Utah Constitution and their oath of office." The transcript records the comment but does not show a substantive response from board members; the hearing was then closed and the board adjourned. The comment is recorded on the public hearing sign-in and in the minutes.
