The proposed Northern Corridor would cut through the Red Cliffs National Conservation Area, which is set aside to protect Mojave Desert tortoises.

The Cove Reservoir in Kane County is planned to be for agricultural use. But environmental groups say where the water will be used isn’t agricultural.

The Wasatch Front and the Southwest corner of Utah continue to be the fastest growing areas of the state, according to the latest population estimates released Thursday.

Mail from Southern Utah is often postmarked in the northern part of the state, which has some election officials telling people to get their ballots in sooner rather than later. But the U.S. Postal Service will postmark ballots locally if it’s close to Election Day.

The comment period for the Northern Corridor closes Thursday at midnight. One aspect of Washington County’s preferred plan would set aside nearly 7,000 acres of land as protected tortoise habitat to make up for the proposed highway cutting through the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve. It’s a popular recreation spot, and some people are concerned about the area changing.
