Be it enacted by the Legislature of the state of Utah:
Section 1. Intent.
The Legislature finds that State Route 89 extending from the junction with State Route 6
near Thistle in Utah County south into Arizona could be an asset for economic development for the
entire state, particularly rural Utah, by designating the highway the "Utah Heritage Highway" and
by developing and promoting a world class heritage art and craft merchandising corridor. The
corridor includes many outlets which provide heritage products, crafts, and related facilities. By
promoting the Utah Heritage Highway, tourism and economic growth would be enhanced.
