The Planning Board, through Advisory Commission secretary and planning board director, Sumner Margetts, worked to select, acquire, and develop the site for the new State Prison. The prison at Sugarhouse was to be relocated and the new site was to be chosen by the committee. Reports were made of problems pertaining to the disposition of land in the Sugarhouse site and the marketability of the area. The governor appointed a committee of 14 members to consider the selection of a suitable site for prison relocation.
