Article details Utah's congressional leaders' reaction to supplemental EIS on controversial proposed Northern Corridor Highway in southern Utah.
They accused ‘feds’ of underhanded attempt to kill the road that would bisect threatened desert tortoise habitat.
“This new BLM supplemental is the latest effort by D.C. bureaucrats to undermine southern Utah leaders as they plan our communities’ future,” Maloy stated in a news release. “The Northern Corridor is an integral part of the transportation plan, and local leaders in Washington County have already completed more than necessary mitigation.”
“The BLM’s decision to revisit the project’s environmental impact undermines decades of collaboration and careful planning between stakeholders and local leaders. It’s time to prioritize the voices of our communities and move forward with the Northern Corridor project.” “The path forward,” she added, “is one where our county continues thriving because of the economic impact of protected lands, and our transportation needs are met with effective alternatives that don’t pave over paradise.”
