Proposed Land Sale Agreement with Trebol Hospitality
Summary
Trebol Hospitality wanted more city land south of Highway 98 for resort guest security, but the land carries popular hiking and biking trails on Red Mesa. The council weighed roughly 100 resort jobs and tourism dollars against a trail that serves over 12,000 users a year and can't really be replicated.

Impact analysis
The developer offered $100,000 toward trail relocation, with council discussion of directing roughly $1.8 million to parks in the coming budget.
If approved, resort guests and the local hospitality economy; with denial, Page residents and trail users keep the land.
Either way someone loses something: trail users lose access if it's sold; the city forgoes a land sale and resort expansion if denied.
