LOGAN - A turf battle over prime real estate in this northern Utah community has sprouted between city and county officials who have different ideas about how the area should be developed. An expected decision by the Cache County Council to sell property between 100 North and 200 North on 100 West to the state Department of Workforce Services for a new administration building has come under fire by members of the Historic Logan Downtown Alliance. Alliance Manager Bob Marcolese said the group is seeing what "seems to be a lot of government buildings recently." Marcolese pointed to a 2003 survey that shows the Logan community wants "night life, restaurants and vibrant retail in the Historic Downtown area." But Cache County attorney George Daines told the County Council this week that attempts to market the real estate to offset construction costs for new buildings on the block have targeted retail as well as public developers. He said Workforce Services is the only potential buyer that has come forward with various proposals and a pending contract. "We have made no decisions at this point," Daines said. - Arrin Newton Brunson
