As community ministers, we encourage you to attend an upcoming meeting to discuss your concerns – July 31, 2024 from 7-8:30 pm. The meeting will be held in West Warren Park (aka Reece Park) 7100 West 900 South, Ogden. You can RSVP online.

This community meeting is being organized by members of the Weber County community and the Stop the Polluting Ports Coalition. While this vast tract of open space is still intact, we still have options! But if developers, Weber County leaders, and UIPA have their way, the habitat stretching between the Ogden Bay Waterfowl management area and the Harold Crane Waterfowl management area would be paved over to accommodate millions of square feet of heavy industrial development served by tens of thousands of commercial trucks.

If that happens, the quality of life for people living closest to the area will be damaged, and the impacts to wetlands, air quality and the drying Great Salt Lake will impact everyone in northern Utah, diminishing God’s great creation which we are called to steward. Now is our time to come together and address these concerns to protect our way of life in our community.
