Thank you to everyone who contacted the governor and their legislators about the ownership transfer for the Rio Grande Depot! We did not succeed in getting a line-item veto, but we did make a big impression on the stakeholders and policy makers on capitol hill. The Rio Grande Depot will be transfered to the University of Utah later this year, or possibly early next year if schedules slip. At that point, there is no official plan for the building's use or access, but we are seeing signs that it will be rented out for drone development, and will not be open to the public for several years to come. This is unfortunate, and not what I would wish for the depot. However, if this source of revenue is able to help pay for the finishing touches to the historic station, then perhaps some good will come of it. The important thing is that we were able to prove the breadth and depth of public interest in the depot itself and in the Rio Grande Plan, which we are told was genuinely surprising to many officials. Momentum IS building, and there are many positive developments in the works. Stay tuned for the next update!
