"If the decision to move the prison has already been made (behind the scenes by politicians), which is quite likely, move it to the most appropriate location — the state Capitol complex of buildings." — Kenneth Steadman

"Leave the prison where it is, and find a better project to work on — like commuter rail all the way to Provo and all the way north." — Debi Robins

Move it

"Now, we have square miles of emptiness in Utah, emptiness that some would cover with really bad nuclear waste. Why can we not cover it with some waste that only lasts for 100 years or less? Nuclear waste lasts for tens of thousands of years." — Gary Fereday, Salt Lake City

"When I bring clients to Utah and have to travel from Salt Lake to Utah County, it is really an embarrassment to have to explain why we have a huge prison in the middle of everything." — Shauna Hatch

"When you find out which bases will be closing due to the BRAC commission, perhaps there will be former federal facilities or land that could be utilized as part of this plan." — Mary McCashland.

"Have you ever considered relocating the prison to a low-income, poverty-stricken area like Piute County?" — Helen Gibbs

"I vote to move it west of Delle, along I-80." — Robert Lindsay, Salt Lake City

"I would strongly urge that the site be located within 5 miles of East Wendover, Utah. I believe building a site there would help the economy, housing and generally upgrade Wendover, Utah." — Charles Puff, Tooele

"Do not place it in Tooele County, as we have enough negative image industry here. Try putting it in Summit County." — Charles Yeaman

"The prison is an embarrassment to the profession. It's old and needs updating . . . It is an eyesore to those visitors passing through our community." — Chantel and Zachariah Miner

About the study . . .

"I would like to suggest that the consultant be asked to meet with Utah Transit Authority to understand the timing and issues associated with bringing passenger rail service to the area and the development potential that such service could create." —Michael Allegra, UTA

"Clearly, if the prison were to be relocated, it would mean a lot of money to certain individuals. How are you ensuring that those responding to your RFP aren't slanting the contents so that relocation seems to be the logical thing to do?" — Eileen Hilton, Orem

The feasibility study is set to begin June 30.
