DAVIS COUNTY - There will be no open burn in Davis County this year because of an extreme fire danger.

Homeowners may not burn anything, including yard clippings and other debris, in their yards according to a press release from the Davis County Fire Marshal.

“There is so much grass and trees and stuff left over from last year, that the fire danger is extremely high this year,” said Ellis Bruch, Davis County Fire Marshal.

“It’s just a high, high danger this year,” said Bruch. He said the lack of snow in the mountains and rain this spring are contributing to the dry landscape.

The Utah Telecommunication Open Infrastructure Agency, or UTOPIA, hosted Fiber Friday to demonstrate the benefits of fiber optics.

The open house also shared examples of being wired provides economic development advantages.

"If you think back a century ago, we called electricity 'the light bill.' It turned on lights. My grandma still refers to it as the light bill. Today, that one thin line is our connectivity into the 100 years. It's this century's infrastructure," said Todd Marriott, Executive Director of UTOPIA.

16 Utah cities are part of UTOPIA. The network offers fiber-to-the-premises technology, allowing for much faster uploads and downloads.

Davis County receives $673,000 in housing grants

Submitted by Associated Press on Wednesday, October 19th, 5:42 am

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is giving more than $600,000 to Davis County for affordable housing.

HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan says the funding will be used by the county for the improvement of public facilities and rehabilitation of housing.

Donovan says the money comes from Community Development Block Grant funding, which was reduced by about 16 percent last year. The cuts were made because of the growing national deficit.

Donovan says the funding decisions were more difficult because of the budget cuts. But he says the grants are essential to help homeless people and support long-term disaster recovery around the country.

Donovan says the grants also provide an important engine for job growth and economic recovery.
