News - Geneva Steel
By Sara Israelsen-Hartley Deseret News VINEYARD, Utah County -- Electrical cords poke up like weeds through a concrete pad at what used to be the Geneva Steel casting area. Nearby, a 20-foot-tall hunk of concrete and rusted rebar looms like a disheveled industrial haystack.
By Sharon Haddock Deseret Morning News PROVO -- It took several years for Chris Dunker to get permission to photograph the demolition of the Geneva Steel plant in Vineyard.
By Sara Israelsen Deseret Morning News OREM -- The smoky towers and massive production plants may be gone, but Geneva Steel's impact on Utah County is too great to let the memory die.
Under a bill sponsored by Sen. Curt Bramble, R-Provo, Vineyard city could use redevelopment agency dollars for the former Geneva Steel industrial site. A provision in current law says an RDA cannot be used for a piece of property that exceeds 10 percent of the total value of the municipality.
