Pleasant Grove terminates planning agreement with Lindon

(Daily Herald) An agreement that would have allowed Pleasant Grove and Lindon to share common planning and revenue in certain areas of the cities was terminated by the Pleasant Grove City Council this week.

According to Gary Clay, Pleasant Grove Finance Director, the agreement had been in place for approximately four years. It was a matter of sharing sales and property taxes in the Grove Area of Pleasant Grove and the adjoining area of Lindon. It also was a way to achieve a similar overall look.

"We just didn't want to be competing against each other for businesses coming in," Clay said.

However, Clay said, the two cities have experienced development differences in the areas and there has been more development in Pleasant Grove than in Lindon.
