John Curtis Visits Price to Host Town Hall

Utah U.S. Representative John Curtis visited Carbon County for a town hall on Thursday afternoon. This town hall was hosted at the Southeastern Regional Development Agency (SERDA) beginning promptly at noon. Rep. Curtis jumped right into the conversation, taking a moment to highlight the local commissioners. He said that there were few forward-looking county commissioners, other than the ones that are located right in Carbon and Emery counties. They are trying to look to the future, as the future is changing. There is a lot of work at the San Rafael Energy Research Center to bring resources, and there has been discussion with PacifiCorp in bringing a nuclear plant to the area. Rep. Curtis emphasized that this ongoing work and these lengthy conversations are a combination of protecting what everyone already has while looking ahead. Rep. Curtis wishes to bring ideas and resources to the area, as well as awareness. He highlighted all of the great resources of the area, such as the airport, e-Fiber, a good freeway, a hospital and higher education. According to Rep. Curtis, the area already features all of the parts and pieces of a wildly successful community. It has been his job to shout to the rest of the world that it is here.
