A Utah legislative committee unanimously approved a joint plan between Salt Lake City and the Smith Entertainment Group that would revitalize the downtown area.On Tuesday, the legislature's Revitalization Zone Committee voted to move the plan forward, with the final step coming when the Salt Lake County Council votes on a proposed 0.5% sales tax increase to fund the project.A date for the council to vote on the tax increase has not been announced, although it has until Dec. 31 to do so.
The committee did add a recommendation with their approval that Abravanel Hall be preserved, a move that Salt Lake County Mayor Jenny Wilson is on-board with, but it will come with a $200 million price tag.'What we do with Abravanel Hall will not be an inexpensive proposition,' admitted Wilson.
