American Fork Canyon Vision is officially disbanded, and Utah County commissioners now are responsible for organizing any additional study or planning for the canyon.
“That group no longer exists; it has been dissolved,” said Shawn Seager, project manager for the AFC Vision steering committee.
Seager, who is also a Mountainland Association of Governments director, said there is no Aug. 20 formal public meeting as posted on afcvision.com.
“Right now the setting up of task forces and moving forward is squarely in the court of the commissioners,” said Utah County Commissioner Bill Lee.

(NOTE: The Preserve & Protect American Fork Canyon effort to date has been a success — but it’s not over.
Mark Allen’s story to empower the citizens is in direct contrast to Cedar Hills Mayor Gary Gygi. Our Mayor reportedly under-informed the CH Council regarding his efforts on the AF Canyon Vision Committee on a number of important issues. He reportedly did not acknowledge the “considerations” he received from Snowbird including helicopter rides, a black tie event, etc., until after being confronted publicly by Council members. His article in the July Newsletter supported Snowbird property rights and ignored acknowledging the desires of CH residents. The Mayor rejected the public inviting his resignation from Committee in favor of a different CH representative. The AF Canyon Vision Committee ultimately collapsed under a cloud of controversy.
Numerous CH individuals have reported Mayor Gary Gygi’s sharing part of his political aspirations includes a run the Governor’s office.
Could this help explain his support of deep financial pockets of Snowbird owners against the desires of CH residents?

The public’s will was successfully heard and AF Canyon was protected — for now.
