West Jordan approves a $1.6M incentive deal for a secret corporate newcomer, code-named ‘Lonestar’

The West Jordan City Council approved a deal to provide $1.6 million in incentives for an out-of-state company to build a large warehouse under the code name “Lonestar,” but the corporation is believed to be retail giant Amazon.

During the council’s redevelopment agency meeting Wednesday night, Danyce Steck, city finance director, said the project “will definitely spur economic growth,” around the area, at the northeast intersection of Old Bingham Highway and Bacchus Highway.

The identity of the company behind the “Lonestar” code name was not disclosed during the meeting because of a non-disclosure agreement signed by city officials.
