The LDS Church has donated to the state a long-closed landfill in northwest Salt Lake City that’s mentioned as a likely location for the facility that would anchor a proposed global trade center.

The conveyance of the 770-acre site by Suburban Land Reserve, the church’s real-estate arm, to the School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration was completed Feb. 28, culminating more than a year of discussions among the parties and Salt Lake City.

Suburban Land declined to comment Monday on the transaction. The property is assessed at $2.35 million.
Sounds like a very generous donation from the church to the government. So we just donate muti million dollars worth of property to the state, for free? Why?

Just general, and pure speculation. That is why I didn't write more.

Very interesting though.

I would hope it was strictly to spite the liberal, anti-mormon Salt Lake City leaders who are against this project but I doubt the church would do something out of spite.
This project will eventually bring tens of thousands of new jobs including new move-ins to the area which will result in some conversions. Plus the church is a global church and this is a global port.
