AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Great Salt Lake Push: EPA chief Lee Zeldin toured Farmington Bay with Utah leaders, backing a $1B Great Salt Lake plan and saying new sensors will be deployed this summer as officials warn the lake is dangerously shallow amid record-low snowpack. Drought Emergency: Gov. Spencer Cox declared a statewide drought emergency after a warm, dry winter left Utah with record-low snowpack and water stress hitting communities fast. Box Elder Data Center Backlash: Hundreds rallied at the Capitol demanding a halt to the Stratos Project, arguing it threatens water, air quality, and transparency as anti-AI sentiment grows. Water-Saving Science: Utah State researchers are working with beavers to keep water on the land longer—turning “water magic” into practical help for farmers. Wildfire Readiness: State agencies urged residents to prepare as drought and dry fuels raise wildfire risk across Utah.
