Grand County is looking to spend an estimated $650 to $850,000 on economic diversification projects in the next six weeks. That’s because come July…it will be illegal to do so. Today on the news, we hear about the county's plans to spend some transient room tax dollars on a short deadline. Plus, the Southeast Utah Health Department is currently investigating a possible outbreak of norovirus at Grand County schools. And later, our radio partners report on expanding renewable energy development on the Navajo Nation and the Moab Sun News previews the Grand County Commission agenda.
