The latest budget we could find lays out that Mountain Accord will receive over $27 million by 2017 from it&#8217;s &#8220;partners.&#8221; Those partners include localities like Park City, the State of Utah, and a little private funding. This money will be used for program management, travel, planning consultants, PR, etc. It won&#8217;t actually build anything but will lay the foundation.<\/p>\n<p>So, how much are people kicking in? Park City is scheduled to give $400,000 to Mountain Accord. Summit County is slated for $200,000. Salt Lake City is at $800,000. State of Utah\u00a0(via UDTO and UTA)\u00a0is at <strong>$22,000,000.<\/strong> HMMM. Now that&#8217;s money.<\/p>\n<p>What does $22 million buy that $400 thousand doesn&#8217;t? We guess we&#8217;ll see. Who&#8217;s agenda is served first?
