Farmington • The City Council decided to keep the “farm in Farmington,” unanimously approving an agricultural protection for a 23-acre piece of property owned by a sixth-generation Utah farmer and his family.
Bangerter has been fighting the city and the Utah Department of Transportation — and its power of eminent domain — for months to keep a plot at 650 West and about 500 South, from becoming a city park with soccer fields.
He gathered nearly 8,000 signatures of support through an online petition and his story has been widely publicized in the news and through social media.
