Community-Friendly Growth

Keep Kanab Unspoiled promotes development that focuses on quality of life, job creation, and protection of our natural resources.
In 2019, we successfully fought against a frac sand mine that would have depleted our aquifer and polluted the air.
Public Lands
Kanab is surrounded by millions of acres of public lands, including the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, the Wave, Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park, Vermillion cliffs, Peekaboo slot canyon, and much more.
