Nu Skin, public meeting with Council to discuss expansion

PROVO (Daily Herald)  -- Love it or hate it, people who want to talk about the proposed Nu Skin expansion can have their chance tonight at a public hearing before the Municipal Council.

The council is scheduled to vote on vacating 100 West between Center Street and 100 South, which has to happen before the city can sell the land to Nu Skin, as proposed. Tonight's decision would not approve of Nu Skin's entire project or even immediately hand over the land, but it would be a critical step for Nu Skin to move forward on its plans for a 120,000-square foot expansion.

The nutritional supplement and personal care products company announced plans a month ago to add a 120,000-square foot, six-story building on the block of 100 West and Center Street, knocking down the Kress building that it occupies as well as B. Ashworth's, Pioneer Book and Art Services, all on that same block, and possibly the empty Biomedics plasma center. The company also asked to have 100 West between Center Street and 100 South closed so the company could build a 5,000-square foot atrium connecting the two buildings.
