Salt Lake Valley owes a new debt of gratitude to the Kennecott Corp.

That's because of the generous gift the firm provided this week to Catholic Community Services, a United Way agency.The gift: a 26,000 square-foot, two-story office building on 3.45 acres of land located at 2300 West and 1700 South.

One measure of the value of this gift is that it was recently appraised at $800,000 following $150,000 in improvements that included repair to mechanical systems, painting, carpeting, tile work and re-asphalting the parking lot.

But the full measure of this gift is not just its value in dollars and cents but the many benefits it will confer upon the entire community through the fine work of Catholic Community Services.
