Salt Lake City Mayor Jackie Biskupski and members of the City Council lobbied on different sides of the inland port bill passed Wednesday in a special session of the state Legislature — a law that will have a huge impact on future development in about a quarter of the city’s land mass.
Council members took to Capitol Hill and encouraged lawmakers to greenlight changes to the law governing the proposed landlocked trade and distribution hub in northwest Salt Lake City, saying while far from perfect, the amended version marked a big improvement over the legislation approved in March.
