Prices and supply availability have changed over the last year and the Duchesne County
Commission is among those experiencing rising prices on projects. During an October
Commission meeting, Commissioner Miles explained that the County received a grant to
build a new building for the weed department. The current building is in rough shape and
a less than ideal location near wetlands. Thanks to a land trade between the County and
Duchesne City, the new building will be built on the hill by the Duchesne County Jail and
other County buildings which is a more suitable location for a building with chemicals. It
was noted that the cost of materials has gone up and the original grant received will no
longer cover the cost of the building. The Commission approved a motion to request an
additional $200,000 dollars from the Uintah Basin Revitalization Fund Board for the
project.
