WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah — After over 65 years of drive-in movies and hundreds of local vendors making ends meet, the West Valley City Council decided the Redwood Drive-In Theatre and Swap Meet's era is over.'It is crucial to recognize that this land is not just a piece of real estate. It's a pillar of our community's history, culture, and economy,' said one speaker.There was a last-minute protest outside city hall right before Tuesday night's meeting.
It's wrong for a government to tell an owner they have to keep doing the business they've been doing,' said councilmember at-large Lars Nordfelt.'If we voted no, that doesn't save the Swap Meet. It's the owner that decides whether or not to save the Swap Meet,' Nordfelt added.Councilmember Tom Huynh was persistent in asking the council if the city could find another Swap Meet location to help the displaced vendors.
