Memorandum of Understanding Between Powder Mountain and Weber County Passes Unanimously

Late Breaking News

More will follow, but this evening Weber County Commissioners unanimously approved the Memorandum of Understanding between the Powder Mountain Developers and Weber County.  After deliberation on the issue with Commissioner Bischoff speaking in favor of the MOU, Commissioner Zogmaister made the motion to approve and Commissioner Dearden seconded the motion.  The motion passed unanimously.

Thanks to Dan S. who provided live play by play blogging during the meeting in the comments section of the Weber County Forum.

 Be sure to watch the video on the right sidebar while you are there.  Near the end of the recording, County commission candidate Drew Johnson offers a heartfelt plea to the developers urging them to drop the plans for a town.

  1. Of course Kent Lundell (interviewed in the film clip) blindly suppports what Powder Mountain is doing and tried to greenwash the business. He's employed by Powder Mountain. He's served as Director of the Snow Sports School/Mountain Adventure Program since October 2008. Powder Mountain's envronmental conservancy documents on their website have not been updated since 2007 and they appear to be all talk and no action. So much for a green industry/good corporate citizen.
