Nation President Russell Begaye, barely 48 hours into his term, is saying plans to develop a portion of the Grand Canyon won’t happen under his watch.

The area for the proposed “Escalade” project is on the northern edge of the canyon on the Navajo Nation. It would cover nearly 420 acres and would bring a tram transporting visitors from the rim to the river, hotels, fast food chains, a cultural museum and 20,000 square feet of retail space.
