Description/Agenda

The Office of the Lieutenant Governor oversees the creation of new cities and towns in a process known as incorporation. A group of citizens filed a request with the Office of the Lieutenant Governor to create a new town known as Heritage Hills (formerly Twin Oaks). On February 19, 2026, the Office of the Lieutenant Governor commissioned LRB Public Finance Advisors to conduct a modified feasibility study to determine if the proposed town is financially viable. On June 22, 2026, the feasibility consultants released the results of the study, which found that 'the incorporation of the proposed Heritage Hills boundary will likely result in at least a five percent budget surplus.' Pursuant to Utah Code §10-2a-207(6) the incorporation process will now proceed to the second public hearing phase. The second public hearing regarding the Heritage Hills Incorporation will be held at the following location and time: Date: Tuesday, August 18, 2026 Time: 4:00 P.M. Location: Sanpete County Courthouse 160 N. Main Street, Suite 302 (Commission Chambers) Manti, Utah 84642 The purpose of the second public hearing is to allow the feasibility consultants to present the results of the modified feasibility study to residents and property owners within the area proposed for incorporation, allow members of the public to express their views about the proposed incorporation and the established boundaries, and to permit the public to ask the feasibility consultants questions about the modified study. A full copy of the study is available at https://ltgovernor.utah.gov/incorporations/ as well as at the Office of the Lieutenant Governor, 350 North State Street, Suite 220, Salt Lake City, Utah 84114. Copies of the feasibility study and the map detailing the proposed incorporation area are also available for public inspection at the Sanpete County Clerk's Office. Additionally, if you would like to submit a question to ask LRB Public Finance Advisors during the public hearing, we invite you to submit those questions in advance at the following link: https://ltgovernor.utah.gov/incorporations/ According to Utah Code §10-2a-208, any time within one year after the completion of the second public hearing, individuals within the proposed municipality may circulate and submit an incorporation petition. The petition must be signed by owners of private real property that covers at least 10% of the total private land area and is equal in value to at least 7% of the value of all private real property. Additionally, the petition must be signed by at least 10% of all registered voters within the proposed Heritage Hills boundary.
