Salt Lake County Mayor Peter Corroon, state party chair Wayne Holland and state party treasurer Kathy Snyder were among those who joined county chair Richard Davis in marking the opening of the party’s first headquarters in nine years.
"We’re excited to to have a headquarters to work from as we enter the 2010 campaign," said Davis. "This will give us the office space we need to run our operations."
Volunteers worked for weeks to paint, clean and donate furniture in advance of the open house. Jim Greer, Events Committee Chair, and his committee organized and decorated the headquarters for the event.
The long term lease, which runs through December 2010, is being paid for by donations from the county party officers.
