This legislation, titled the University of Utah Research Park Act , officially confirms the use of specific non-Federal land in Salt Lake City, Utah, by the University of Utah. It validates the university's long-standing use of this land as a research park, as initially approved by the Secretary of the Interior in 1970 and through subsequent modifications. This confirmation ensures that these uses align with the requirements of the Recreation and Public Purposes Act . Furthermore, the bill extends this confirmation to include other university-related uses that are consistent with a research park, such as the development of student housing and a transit hub . The land in question comprises approximately 593.54 acres , originally conveyed to the University of Utah under the Recreation and Public Purposes Act in 1968. By confirming these diverse public purposes, the Act provides legal clarity and stability for the university's ongoing development and operations on this property.
