A proposed RV park development near Zion National Park's Kolob Canyon entrance was rejected by Washington County commissioners.

According to The Salt Lake Tribune:

St. George • A proposal to build an RV park, hotel and gas station near the northwest entrance to Zion National Park has been rejected by county commissioners who said the rural area wasn’t equipped to handle that kind of commercial development. 

Washington County commissioners unanimously voted down the proposal Tuesday despite an earlier approval from a county planning commission, the Spectrum newspaper in St. George reported. 

A company called Juniper Investors was asking the commission to rezone land near the town of New Harmony off Interstate 15.
