This bill confirms that the University of Utah's use of about 593.54 acres of non-Federal land in Salt Lake City as a university research park is a valid public purpose under the Recreation and Public Purposes Act. It approves the uses described in a December 10, 1970, letter from the Secretary of the Interior and any plan changes that the Department of the Interior approved before the bill's enactment. It also confirms other uses that are consistent with a research park and related university purposes, specifically mentioning development of student housing and a transit hub. The land was originally conveyed by patent dated October 18, 1968.
If you live near or use the university or its facilities, this bill formally recognizes the university's approved uses of the described land. Confirmed uses include the research park and related developments such as student housing and a transit hub. The confirmation is subject to the terms in the 1970 Secretary's letter and any Department approvals given before the bill became law.
