APPRAISAL

Administrative Historical

These records have primary and secondary evidential and informational values because they are the actual proposals submitted to the federal government in Utah's attempt to secure the project for the state. They also show the impact such a project would have on the state and reveal information on other related topics. They may also be useful in attempts to secure similar projects in the future.
