How many millions might a Treasure buyout cost, would voters say 'yes?'

(Park Record) One day Park City voters might be faced with a ballot question that reads something like this: "Shall Park City, Utah be authorized to issue general obligation bonds in an amount not to exceed $40 million to acquire and forever preserve the park and recreational land commonly known as the Treasure parcel?"

Or could the figure be $30 million. Perhaps it could be $50 million.

Or more. Or less.

Nobody can say for certain what price tag might someday be attached to the Sweeney family's Treasure acreage on a hillside overlooking Old Town. But it seems top-ranking City Hall officials are preparing to engage the Sweeneys in what would be some of the highest-stakes conservation negotiations ever undertaken by Park City.
