Will Morgan County residents get to vote on exclusive resort project?

The 750-home Wasatch Peak Ranch, featuring Utah’s first private ski area, has become a lightning rod for litigation, including ‘anti-SLAPP’ action.

(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Some Morgan County residents oppose Wasatch Peaks Ranch, an exclusive community and private ski resort under development outside the hamlet of Peterson. From left, Brandon Peterson, Shelley Paige, Whitney Croft, Cindy Carter and Dave Pike are concerned with the long-term impact the project could have on their rural community as they gather for a portrait on Friday, April 7, 2023, at the edge of the property about 17 miles from Ogden, Utah. Four of these residents have filed suit, seeking a court order forcing Morgan County to hold a voter referendum on the project. Not pictured is co-plaintiff Robert Bohman.
