Will there be a special sesson on controversial port next week? Today’s key meeting of Salt Lake City and Utah officials may answer that question

State and Salt Lake City officials are working to see if they can reach an agreement on changes to a controversial international trading hub planned for the city’s northwest corner, but the mayor’s office is unhappy with the shadowy nature of the negotiations.

City Council members have been talking with state leaders about changes to the law that was passed in the eleventh hour of the legislative session in March, when lawmakers agreed to set up what will be one of the world’s largest landlocked ports built on about 24,000 acres of city land.
