Kane County Water Conservancy District receives $1.2 million for land acquisition

Salt Lake City (May 3, 2022) – The Permanent Community Impact Board (CIB) approved a $1,240,000 low-interest loan for the purchase of land in Kanab, Utah for the anticipated construction of a trail system for walking and bike paths. At the April 29, 2022 CIB meeting, the board also approved funding for the following projects: 

• LaVerkin City received funding approval for a $321,000 grant and a $1,245,000 low-interest loan for road improvements. 

“Grants and loans provided through the Permanent Community Impact Board are important for both recreational and infrastructure needs, which are equally important for healthy communities” said board member and Garfield County Commissioner Jerry Taylor. 

The Permanent Community Impact Board awards grants and low-interest loans to cities, towns, and counties from funds directed to the CIB from mining and oil and gas extraction on federal land. Projects funded by the Permanent Community Impact Board benefit rural Utah by creating safer, more livable communities. The Utah Housing and Community Development Division manages the fund, which is part of the Department of Workforce Services. For more information, visit housing.utah.gov.
