SLCo Certifies
Petition For
Millcreek Incorporation
Salt Lake County has certified a petition from residents of the Millcreek Township for an incorporation feasibility study. The petition, which required signatures of owners of 10% of the property in the area, calls for a feasibility study to consider incorporation. The petition was certified by the Salt Lake County Clerk’s Office.
Millcreek Township is bounded by Salt Lake City, South Salt Lake, Murray and Holladay cities and on the east by Millcreek Canyon. The Township’s 65,000 residents live in four communities: Millcreek, Canyon Rim, East Mill Creek and Mount Olympus.
The next step in the process is for Salt Lake County to hire a consultant to conduct a feasibility study of the incorporation plans.
The consultant will have 90 days to complete the study. Two public hearings will follow to present the study findings.
If incorporation proponents then decide to proceed with the process, they would have 18 months to acquire signatures representing one third of the value of land and one third of the land area in the township. If that requirement is met, the final step to incorporation would be a vote during either a statewide primary or general election to determine city status.
“I have always endorsed self-determination,” says Mayor Peter Corroon. “Community members should determine for themselves what type of government best serves their needs and I’m sure this study will provide more information on whether Millcreek wants to pursue incorporation.”
