(Bridger Beal-Cvetko, KSL.com) Estimated read time: 2-3 minutes SARATOGA SPRINGS — Saratoga Springs has acquired the rights to develop around 20 acres of land adjacent to Camp Williams, where the city plans to build a new cemetery. The land was originally intended for a 57-unit housing development, but the Utah National Guard and city of Herriman helped Saratoga Springs acquire the rights for a cemetery through the Army Compatible Use Buffer program, which is designed to help mitigate noise and other disturbances from developed land near military training facilities.
