Public Notice: Friends of Little Cottonwood Canyon (FoLCC) is a tax-exempt organization supporting the preservation of this valuable resource while responsibly addressing the transportation needs of Utahns and visitors who enjoy the natural beauty of our Wasatch Front and, in particular, Little Cottonwood Canyon. As a 501(c)(4)—not a 501(c)(3) as erroneously reported—it can endorse candidates for political office and has done so in both the Sandy and Cottonwood Heights municipal elections, candidates whose positions are closely aligned with FoLCC.
Some individual members of FoLCC have made contributions to various political campaigns as is their right as private citizens participating in the political process, but as an organization, FoLCC has not made financial contributions to any campaign or candidate.
In an opinion piece by Mike Marker, President of Friends of Little Cottonwood Canyon—which has tracked UDOT's Record of Decision costs and calculations for years—the Utah Department of Transportation’s proposed gondola for Little Cottonwood Canyon faces serious scrutiny over its financial viability.
