  • USU's Coalville building first Summit County-owned renewable energy structure

    (Herald Journal) Utah State University Cooperative Extension's office in Coalville has become the first county-owned building to be fully powered by renewable energy.

    Rocky Mountain Power's Blue Sky renewable energy program provided a $26,000 award that enabled Summit County to install a roof-mounted 4.3-kilowatt grid-tied photovoltaic system that will supply all of the building's electrical needs.

    (Park Record) As officials explore relocating the North Summit branch of the Summit County library into the old hospital in Coalville, County Librarian Diana Skousen said she is not a fan of the proposed location.

    "With the seismic concerns and everything, that really bothers me," Skousen said. "I don't like that building."
