Salt Lake City

Salt Lake City has stopped plans for a special assessment area in Sugar House after the Sugar House Chamber & Community Alliance withdrew its request, according to the city. Officials received the group's letter Oct. 14, before the Oct. 19 deadline for property owners to submit protests. [1]

The city says it has stopped accepting protests and will notify property owners. A termination notice published Oct. 15 says the City Council is scheduled to receive a briefing Oct. 20. [1] [2]

The proposed three-year assessment was projected to raise about $1.7 million. The council's June 9 action had declared its intent to create the area but did not establish it. [1]
