ST. GEORGE, Utah (AP) — The federal Bureau of Land Management has canceled a planned sale of land in Southeast Utah to be used for oil drilling following opposition from county and municipal officials.
The Spectrum reports the land between Arches and Canyonlands national parks will not be included in the September sale.
The agency says it will offer more than 42 square miles of land to purchase during the week of September 28, but will not include parcels within Grand or San Juan counties.
