From The Mule Deer Foundation

The goal of the US-89 Paunsaugunt Deer Crossing Project is to provide safe passage for mule deer and improve safety for motorists and wildlife on Highway 89. The plan is to fence the highest accident area, between MP 36.8 to 48.2. The ends of the fencing will tie into existing large bridges at each end, where animals can cross under the highway. Because of the limited distance deer are willing to travel to look for crossing opportunities, four wildlife passages will also be constructed.

The 2.4 million dollar project has been funding by numerous organizations in both Utah and Arizona including money from hunting licenses and big game tags.

In Utah alone over 2000 vehicle / deer crashes happen a year with the average car damage being around $8,000 and many sustain injuries. UDOT and DWR are taking significant steps to cut these numbers down and have installed similar fencing and tunnels along I-80 with great success.

For those of us that travel these roads frequently, and for the large amount of tourism traffic, this is a huge improvement, not to mention the benefit for the Mule Deer population of Southern Utah and Northern Arizona.

Mortgage rates in the U.S. fell for a fourth week, with the 15-year average hitting a record low, helping to strengthen the housing recovery.

With 30 year fixed rates hovering around 3.4% and the 15 year fixed at 2.61% rates have hit a historic low.

While home availability is tightening nationwide, the Page Lake Powell area has a good supply of homes to choose from and with these extremely low rates, buyer who have been waiting for the right time – that time looks to be now.

For a $200,000 dollar house with 10% down these rates look like this:

Principle and Interest Payments for a 30 year fixed rate come in at $798.00

Principle and Interest Payments for a 15 year fixed rate come in at $1,210.00

To both of these numbers you need to add in the taxes and insurance.

Southern Utah and Northern Arizona have some of the darkest skies in the county which attract astronomers, professional and hobbyist alike. Two of our Lake Powell communities are havens for night sky watchers. Lake Powell View Estates at Greenehaven on the Arizona side and Big Water on the Utah side.
