Environmental group fighting Utah’s inland port holds protest outside a Salt Lake City real estate firm

Opponents of a huge industrial development in Salt Lake City’s northwest quadrant staged their third public protest Wednesday, this time targeting a real estate firm involved in the project.

Ten or so members of the environmental activist group Civil Riot gathered outside the offices of Colmena Group, a real estate development and investment company that is one of several seeking to broker deals in the inland port.

Clustered Wednesday at the business’ entrance on Wilmington Avenue in Salt Lake City, protesters read from a one-page letter addressed to Lance Bullen, a founding and managing partner at Colmena.
