State to pay $4.5 million to buy Deseret Industries thrift store from Mormon church for homeless shelter
“There wasn’t much discussion before the committee unanimously approved the purchase prices.
During a recent meeting of the Shelter the Homeless board, developer Kem Gardner let loose information that the Mormon church planned to make a donation after the sale of the property.
Recounting his conversation with Bishop Dean Davies, the first counselor in the LDSChurch’s Presiding Bishopric, Gardner said: “He said, ‘Kem, let’s do it this way: you buy the ground, let me see what I need to do in the whole scope of what you have to do, and we’ll make a very generous donation.” Gardner said of his conversation with Bishop Dean Davies, the first counselor in the LDS Church’s Presiding Bishopric.”
