Plans are now underway to get a cell tower in Logan Canyon. In all, about $21 million has been secured to make it happen.
This is a combination of federal funding and an ongoing Utah Department of Transportation project. Phase 2 includes the use of $1 million in federal transportation dollars. Phase 3 includes $20 million in Treasury Capital Project Funds for broadband.
"Normally when someone, if there's an accident, they have to come down to the bottom. They can't even call 911 before emergency services get dispatched," said Jason Winn, deputy fire chief and marshal for the Cache County Fire District. He said they see it with nearly every accident."Depending on where you are in the canyon, you're going to improve your response times by 20 to 30 minutes," Winn said.
