Can Utah Keep Sundance, a Nuclear Power Plant, & Burgers 🍔

Scroll to the bottom for a list of new events here in Utah and a local sports recap.

We are also highlighting some Sundance Film Festival news, a nuclear power plant, and the best burger joint in Utah.

⛰️ Local News 📰

The Sundance Film Festival’s contract with the state of Utah ends next year, and there’s rumors they may go to a new state to hold the event going forward. That would be tough on our economy (and not to mention, likely a dumb decision by Sundance to leave the decades-long tradition). The state’s new budget proposal includes $3.5M allocated to the film festival, so local lawmakers are hopeful that we will be able to keep it here for years to come!

Governor Cox wants to build a nuclear power plant here in Utah, and released a video on X with his pitch (below).
