Ogden Valley, Spring Lake Incorporation Proposals Go To Voters In November
The proposal to incorporate the Ogden Valley in Weber County, a focus of debate since 2022, will be put to voters in a referendum on the Nov. 5 ballot, when the simmering issue could be decided once and for all.
I was not surprised, said Nick Dahlkamp, a leader of the effort, noting the relatively short period it took boosters to collect the required signatures on petitions calling for the ballot question.
At the same time, residents in the small Utah County community of Spring Lake between Payson and Santaquin will also be voting on whether to become a city. As in the Ogden Valley, development pressures, increasing growth and a desire to have more say in how expansion unfolds figured in the push to incorporate. (Wed) like to have more direct involvement in that process, said Jason Knapp, whos helping lead the Spring Lake effort.
The Ogden Valley incorporation boosters received word earlier this week from the Utah Lieutenant Governors Office, which processes incorporation requests, that they had gathered enough signatures on petitions to get the incorporation question on the ballot. The contingent pursuing incorporation received permission in early June to start the petition process and submitted signatures to the state about a month later, on July 3.
