Tom Westmoreland’s response

Eagle Mountain recognizes that the state of Utah is dealing with an electric power shortage. Our community is affected by these shortages.

We are working with the state and federal governments to look into a variety of power generation options, which we hope will best serve our residents and businesses.

Small Modular Reactors are one of those options, and that will be thoroughly vetted as consideration of these code changes continues.

We are considering a high standard of oversight, and Eagle Mountain City looks forward to communication with, and hearing from, our residents as this process continues. - Mayor Tom Westmoreland
