This agreement will also lease out one electrical transformer to be constructed on the Project to West Valley City. The value of this asset has yet to be determined.
This agreement identifies the right to build a wall on West Valley City’s property line on 2700 West, but no land asset has been valued at this time, and due to nature of property line, land under the future fences will not be able to be valued.
