Show ESTHER SOMERVILLE #1 continuing education project going on here, so that young people that have graduated from high school can get at least their first year of college in Moab from now on. They're building a building for it, and educators, professors, and people are moving in. They' re buying some of these homes from the people who have been transferred. SG: In terms of the type of people that have come to Moab, have they been basically the same type of people that were here before? ES: There's one change. There's hardly anyone that's coming now that's interested in stock raising. A lot of their children are interested in horses, saddle horses are a big thing here, but stock raising, grazing sheep or cattle on the public domain and in the forest has dropped way down. The people that are coming now are more interested in mining, in the mining and milling industry. Now with this school for continuing education, there are quite a lot of college people too. That's about the only difference in the type of people. There's this growth that's taken place in Moab with tourism and, oh, motels and eating places. They are a little different type of people--commercial, you know. Most of the income for a long time was stock and stock raising, ranching. 16 |
