Apparently the Prison Relocation Commission is expecting to make a final decision on the eventual spot for the relocated prison next Tuesday. That means the prison could head to Salt Lake City, Grantsville, Fairfield or Eagle Mountain.
I think it only makes sense to have the prison be relocated to the Salt Lake site, which is near the airport. Any contemplation of the other three sites is inconsiderate to the residents living there and to those volunteers and prison employees who would have to make a long commute. The airport already is connected to the TRAX line and is easy to get to. And if there is some way to make the prison aesthetically appealing for visitors flying to the state, that would be best.
