When it is the beauty of your area that makes you attractive for development, it is wise to not let the development spoil the beauty.
"Folks here in Rich County, Utah, and Bear Lake County, Idaho, are using the lull to consider the past and what they want to become in the future. They have hired growth and planning consultant group Envision Utah to host community meetings, gauge public opinion and create a plan to balance development with agricultural land and open space. Environmentalists want to protect the lake. Community leaders would also like to see a plan for economic development.
The planning process is being called the Bear Lake Valley Blueprint."
