Salt Lake City: Official Development News Thread - Part 3

[brankrom]

I have it on pretty good authority from someone I trust and confirmed from a couple of other sources that 111 S. Main will be COB South. The Corporation® already owns and utilizes the 1960s bank building that will be torn down soon for NPAC for additional COB office space.

Honestly, to me The Corporation® is a mixed bag. I don't subscribe to the theology and see a lot of abuses, but like it or not it is THE primary economic engine in Utah and like it or not without Mormons SLC is Elko or Ely if it existed at all. The Corporation® glad hands with lots of different interests and spends tons of money and employs a lot of people not only in its own operations (a small percentage of which is actually ecclesiastical in nature IMO) but also the likes of Bud Bailey, Big D, and Layton. So that's the positive, on the inverse side The Corporation® also has a non representative amount of influence in public policy because $$$ equals influence and that's NOT unique to Utah.
