The Utah West Desert Land Exchange Act—enacted by Congress in 2000—provided for the exchange of 106,000 acres of state trust land in western Utah and the Red Cliffs National Conservation Area near St. George for 106,000 acres of BLM land in less environmentally sensitive areas. The acquired trust lands are now home to the ACES Delta Project (which will be the world’s largest renewable energy hub), the Wasatch Regional Landfill, the Elektron and Horseshoe solar energy projects, and several other projects which have produced millions of dollars for Utah’s school and institutional trust system and continue to provide local communities with jobs, tax revenue, and other economic opportunities.
