Department of Natural Resources. Division of Provo-Jordan River Parkway Authority

Chapter 182 of the 1973 Laws of Utah called for the creation of a division within the Department of Natural Resources to be known as the Provo-Jordan River Parkway Authority for the purpose of establishing and coordinating programs for the development of recreational areas, water conservation, flood control, reclamation, and wildlife resources on or along the Provo and Jordan rivers and their tributaries. Chapter 167 of the 1986 Laws of Utah abolished the Authority and transferred its functions to the Division of Parks and Recreation as part of a riverway enhancement program.
