UTAH COUNTY, Utah — Plans to build islands as part of the Utah Lake Restoration Project are moving forward. The US Army Corps of Engineers publicly released the permit application and now starts a lengthy review process.“This is a beautiful beach, we’ve actually done a lot of work here to remove the invasive phragmites,” said Jon Benson, President, Lake Restoration Solutions.
A map with the permit shows what they envision it will look like. There could be development, and the map shows some roads.“And then we can use those islands for wildlife refuge, for recreation, which is a great public amenity, and for community islands to pay for the project,” said Benson.
