This bill confirms that the University of Utah can use about 593.54 acres in Salt Lake City as a research park. It also says related uses—like student housing and a transit hub—count as valid public uses under federal rules. It recognizes earlier approvals from 1970 and later updates that the Interior Department already approved. The land covered includes specific tracts near the university that together total roughly 593.54 acres conveyed to the University in 1968.
