Tooele City Engineer Paul Hansen told City Council members last Wednesday that an environ- mental impact study on the new road had been completed, opening the door for the next phase of the project. “We are very close,” Hansen said. He also report- ed that the city will be meeting with state repre- sentatives to move to the next step: looking for an expert planner to design the project. The much-talked-about road would extend 1000 North, which currently runs from Main Street east- ward to Droubay Road, west to the Utah Industrial Depot. The new road would provide much-needed access for large trucks cutting through the city and seasonal traffic headed to Miller Motorsports Park. “Land banker” Gregory Haerr, of Holladay, pur- chased a 36-acre tract of commercial land adjacent to the proposed new road at a May bankruptcy auction for $4.5 million. The sale closed last Friday. Haerr mentioned the 1000 North extension as being a crucial component of his plan to develop the property for sale, possibly to a major retailer. “The developer [Haerr] would not have paid $125,000 an acre for raw ground if he did not see photography / Troy Boman the substantial value that this property will have John Sandoval waves to a passerby while he paints a curb and fire hydrant in Newtown on Fifth Street on Friday afternoon.
