Board member Sen. Jerry Stevenson, R-Layton, said the condemnation action was nothing unusual nor anything warranting coverage in the news media. “This piece of property in particular provides approach for enhanced rail circulation in and out of the inland port,” he said. “This piece of property will provide for trains that today come in through downtown Salt Lake and cross through the western portions of Salt Lake City, through the neighborhoods of Rose Park and others.”
