New president and director at Utah 1033 Foundation

Gas prices remain high due to effects of Harvey
Gas prices traditionally drop after Labor Day, but they will stay high due to the effects of Hurricane Harvey. Prices jumped 12 cents in a month and have been as high as $2.76 in Park City, which is 10 cents higher than Salt Lake City. The national average rose 35 cents in the last month, with the East Coast and Gulf Coast taking the brunt of the rise. Since the Rocky Mountain area is more self-dependent, the costs were not as affected, said Michael Blaskey, AAA spokesperson for this region. The hurricane affected 25 to 30 percent of U.S. refining capabilities, and some refineries are still offline. Prices are expected to drop by early October as more Texas refineries come online.

Promontory names new director of sales

He was one of the top sales people at the club and was named “Sales Manager of the Year” by the National Association for the Homebuilders. As director, Messick will lead Promontory’s sales professionals and bring new multi-generational families to the community.
