Your response: My community (central Wayne County including the communities of Teasdale, Torrey, Capitol Reef National Park) share a common interest in the conservation and protection of the surrounding landscape, including Capitol Reef National Park, Boulder Mountain, the San Rafael Swell, and Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. To a significant degree, these interests are not shared by the residents of other areas of Wayne County.

  - Where are residents employed?
  - If there are environmental concerns in your community, what are they?

Examples of economic or environmental interests: Tourism industry, agricultural workers, mining town, manufacturing center, polluted natural resource, unemployment problem, etc.

Your response: The economic engine of my community (Teasdale, Torrey, Capitol Reef National Park) is tourism and visitor services. Revenues generated by these activities, and by property taxes paid by residents of this area, are the economic pillar of the entire county. A major problem for my community is the lack of affordable housing (or any housing) for workers in the tourism sector. However, political power is centered in the communities of the Upper Valley (Loa, Fremont, Bicknell, Lyman) where agriculture and ranching are viewed as the only proper lifestyles for county residents. As a result of this division, the interests of my community, central Wayne County, are generally ignored.
