2Confirmation of use of certain non-Federal land in Salt Lake City, Utah, for valid public purposes
This section would confirm that the University of Utah's use of about 593.54 acres of land in Salt Lake City as a university research park is a valid public purpose consistent with the requirements of the Act of June 14, 1926, known as the Recreation and Public Purposes Act. That land was conveyed to the university under the 1926 Act by a patent numbered 43-99-0012 and dated October 18, 1968, and is described as tracts D (excluding parcels numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5), G, and J, in Township 1 South, Range 1 East, Salt Lake Meridian. The confirmed use is the research park use approved in a December 10, 1970 letter from the Secretary of the Interior to the university, along with any modifications to that approved plan of development and management that the Department of the Interior approved before this Act's date of enactment, and the confirmation is subject to the terms and conditions in that letter and those approvals. The section would also confirm as a valid public purpose under the same 1926 Act any other use of that land by the University of Utah that is consistent with use as a university research park and related university purposes, including development of student housing and a transit hub.
