PROVO, Utah (AP) — Utah County has unanimously approved a measure that would block private development at the Bridal Veil Falls after protests and concerns from residents.
The Utah County Commission’s decision after a public hearing on Wednesday occurred a day after protesters gathered outside the Utah County Administration Building to oppose a proposed private development on the tourist attraction.
Reports had indicated last week that developer Richard Losee had requested to build a tram and drug treatment center at the waterfall attraction. The Daily Herald reports that Losee is the owner of Cirque Lodge, an addiction recovery center in Orem.
