Posted // 2012-09-04 - Candidate for Salt Lake County Mayor Mark Crockett will be at a meeting by a group advocating for Millcreek to become incorporated as a city. Show up and speak your mind on what this issue could mean for increased services and a possible tax increase.
Millcreek residents have a tough decision about making the leap from being a township to becoming a city and whether or not added costs justify added municipal services and increased local control. Wednesday, Crockett and Cottonwood Heights Mayor Kelvyn Cullimore will host an informational meeting about the issue that will be on the November ballot.
Check it out, Wednesday, Sept. 5, 7 p.m.- 8:30 p.m. at Granger High School, 3305 S. 500 East. For more about the Future of Millcreek organization, check out its website here.

why do you call it a town hall meeting and invite everyone when you should be calling your meeting a meeting for incorporation and invite only those who are in favor or on your side. Are you trying to convince those who are in favor or are you trying to win over those against with your scare tactics about being annexed if we dont become a city
Eric Peterson is incorrect in assuming that incorporation will lead to increased costs/taxes. The feasibility study of 2011 never indicated that costs would increase beyond the rate of inflation. The updated fiscal study of 2012 presented at the meeting last night by the feasibility consultants (LYRB) shows a significant rise in revenues over expenses and that a surplus in funds will be present if incorporation occurs. Taxes could even go down!
Mr. Orr is welcome to organize a meeting for the opponents of incorporation on his dime. This meeting was organized and the facilities paid for by the citizens in favor. Would you ask the Obama camp to cede time to Romney at one of their rallies?
Thanks for the article. I'm hoping there's a good turn out tonight.
