Council accepts Parks & Rec recommendation against developing school-district-owned site now
Summary
After hearing that the Iron County School District may develop the roughly 60-acre site for school use within ten years, the Parks & Recreation Committee recommended against investing city funds in park improvements on that parcel; the Council accepted the recommendation.
City staff relayed the Parks & Recreation Committee's recommendation not to pursue park development on roughly 60 acres of Iron County School District land south of the Ridley Stop. The school district's Facilities Director, Hunter Shaheen, told the committee the district's long-range plan could develop the site in a manner similar to the Canyon View campus, potentially including a middle school and a high school within the next ten years.
Given the uncertain timeline and the risk city investments could be displaced by future school construction, the committee recommended against moving ahead on park improvements at this time; staff noted an alternative — acquiring other land to trade with the district — would require funding the city does not currently have. The Council accepted the committee recommendation and took no further action.
