Why is the state the developer? This is a very strange proposition. All while taking on regulatory responsibilities or for that matter ceding regulatory responsibilities. It like the only way for these high risk developments to actually happen is for the state to take on all risk.
The proposed Beehive Development Agency would be able to designate “significant community impact” projects across Utah.
Opponents say it could "result in authorization of massive projects regardless of what the local communities think or the harm to the public interest."

Farming is uncertainty. Farming is risk. Then farming in the desert a water thirsty crop? Good night. Good policy can mitigate this risk. But it’s the farmer also voting for no policy and mitigation. It’s also the farmer pleading for policy and mitigation after the vote.
