KZMU News

On the News Reel today, we talk to Sophia Fisher, reporter with the Moab Times-Independent, about the city’s new budget, which includes plans to reinstate a property tax in Moab for the first time in 30 years. We also talk about where things stand for new hotels that were approved years ago before city and county laws restricted construction of new overnight accommodations. We finish off with an update on Utah’s snowpack and what to expect this spring. Plus, a shout out to the Grand County High School’s boys soccer team. - Show Notes - • Moab council approves $20M tentative budget https://www.moabtimes.com/articles/moab-council-approves-20m-tentative-budget/ • Infrastructure needs dominate city’s 5-year CIP https://www.moabtimes.com/articles/infrastructure-needs-dominate-citys-5-year-cip/ • There are still hundreds of unbuilt hotel rooms in Grand County https://www.moabtimes.com/articles/there-are-still-hundreds-of-unbuilt-hotel-rooms-in-grand-county/ • For second year in a row, Moab’s snowpack exceeds median https://www.moabtimes.com/articles/for-second-year-in-a-row-moabs-snowpack-exceeds-median/ • Turner notches impressive season on the pitch https://www.moabtimes.com/articles/turner-notches-impressive-season-on-the-pitch/
