The Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Northern Utah is seeking an extension after it was given 180 days to vacate its building. The center will be bulldozed to aid in the expansion of the George S. Eccles Dinosaur Park.
That's what DaLyn Marthaler said when she found out the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Northern Utah, where she is the executive director, was given six months to vacate their facility and find a new one.
"All those things cannot happen in 180 days. It's just not possible," Marthaler said. "This isn't something where we can just get out to a warehouse and be fine. … There's a process to this, and people just don't understand that." Then, in early March, the center received a letter giving it until Sept. 6 to vacate the premises. The center will be bulldozed so the neighboring George S. Eccles Dinosaur Park at 1544 Park Blvd can create a 144-stall parking lot and a storage facility.
Marthaler's understanding when her team originally signed the agreement was that it was "simply a formality." She said they were told that these contracts are often made and that after a few years of occupying a building, they would have established residency there.
