CACHE COUNTY – A discussion of “Priorities for Cache County” will take place on Saturday, Oct. 26 from 1 to 3 p.m.
That event, sponsored by the Domestic Policy Caucus, will feature local leaders, community members and experts sharing their insights and perspectives.
This will be a great chance to learn about the challenges and opportunities in northern Utah and contribute to the conversation, according to moderator Greg Hughes, a former Utah lawmaker and speaker of the House.

The “Priorities for Cache County” agenda will include Snider discussing water issues in Utah; Cox on growth management in local cities; Sorenson on crime and sentencing guidelines; and Jensen discussing public safety issues.
The event will conclude with a free-ranging question and answer session.
“Don’t miss this chance to connect with others who are passionate about making a difference in Cache Valley,” Hughes explained. “Whether you’re a long-time resident or new to the area, your voice matters.
