KZMU News

On the Weekly News Reel today, we talk to Doug McMurdo, editor of the Times-Independent, about construction at the Kane Creek housing development, which was stalled briefly after the state cut off access to a well developers were using illegally. We also discuss Moab’s new title as a Dark Sky Community and what that will mean for businesses moving forward. We finish off talking about a public hearing scheduled for June 25 for Moab residents to tell the City Council how they want their new property taxes to be spent. We also talk to Kenny Fallon, editor and publisher of the Green River Observer, about potential changes to the funding structure at the John Wesley Powell River History Museum. We also discuss Lynn Jackson’s recent visit to Green River, and what the candidate for State Representative said to residents. We finish off with an update on the Inland Port Authority, which will vote later this month on a new location in the state. - Show Notes - • Property tax open house June 25; tentative date for public hearing is Aug. 6 https://www.moabtimes.com/articles/property-tax-open-house-june-25-tentative-date-for-public-hearing-is-aug-6/ • State shuts down Kane Creek project water well https://www.moabtimes.com/articles/state-shuts-down-kane-creek-project-water-well/ • Moab Achieves Dark Sky Community recognition https://www.moabtimes.com/articles/moab-achieves-dark-sky-community-recognition/ • The Green River Observer https://thegreenriverobserver.substack.com/
