The Utah County Commission unanimously approved a conservation easement for Bridal Veil Falls on Wednesday, putting an end to discussions about private development at the iconic Utah County landmark.
Outgoing Commissioner Nathan Ivie put forward the conservation easement on Nov. 18 in one of his last moves as county commissioner.
The conservation easement is a deed between Utah County and Utah Open Lands, a Salt Lake City-based nonprofit that works with landowners on conservation efforts. The conservation easement still needs to be signed by the Utah Open Lands Board of Directors, which is expected to happen next week.
The vote came after over three hours of discussion about the conservation easement and proposed private development of Bridal Veil Falls.
