The complex, which is home to the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Headquarters and the Color Country District’s Kanab Field Office, is located at 669 South Highway 89A in Kanab, Utah. The grand opening will begin at 3 p.m. with a ribbon-ceremony followed by a general open house until 7 p.m.

The complex, funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, includes a new 16,350 square-foot one-story administrative office building and a 6,200 square-foot warehouse.  The new building incorporates a number of innovative energy efficiency measures, including a 20-kilowatt grid-connected photovoltaic system. BLM Utah anticipates a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) gold rating from the U.S. Green Building Council for the complex.

BLM staff from both offices will be on hand to answer questions about their specialties and the work they do. There will also be exhibits, presentations, refreshments and live music from the local band, Mesozoic.

The BLM manages nearly 22.9 million acres of public lands in Utah, representing about 42 percent of the state. Located mostly in western and southeastern Utah, these lands are varied, ranging from rolling uplands to sprawling desert lowlands. Utah’s public lands feature some of the most spectacular scenery in the world, from the snow-capped peaks of remote mountain ranges to colorful red-rock canyons.

The BLM’s first national monument is also located on public lands in Utah. Situated in beautiful red-rock country, the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument encompasses nearly 1.9 million acres in the south-central part of the state. The area offers a unique combination of archaeological, historical, paleontological, geological, and biological resources.

BLM Utah manages public lands for a variety of uses. These lands not only provide minerals, energy, and livestock forage, but also natural, historical and cultural resources that the agency is charged with protecting. In addition, Utah’s public lands offer incomparable opportunities to experience solitude and enjoy outdoor recreation.
