A special event that’s had a few years off is back and taking place in Vernal next week. Now hosted by the Utah Association of Counties, the 2021 Building Utah Conference (also known as ‘Utah Roads School’) will welcome leaders and professionals from all over the state next week including Governor Spencer Cox who will not only speak to this group of professionals but will also perform several ceremonial bill signings. The ceremonial bill signings are happening for HB 433 ‘Amendments Related to Infrastructure Funding’, SB 243 ‘Political Subdivisions Amendments’, and SB 176 ‘Mineral Lease Funds Amendments’. The conference was previously hosted by the League of Cities and Towns and the last year it was held was 2017. “Our state is growing and strategic planning is important,” shares Utah Association of Counties CEO Brandy Grace. “UAC recognizes the unique challenges that elected officials and department supervisors face as they search for ways to best meet the needs of their communities.” This event will be at the Uintah Conference Center April 6th, 7th, and 8th.
