Congrats to All

Good news for Utah's economy as companies continue to grow and relocate here.  Here is just a list of some of those projects:

Schreiber Foods expanding their operations in Smithfield.

Cementation USA moving their headquarters to Utah.

Cryomed moving their corp. headquarters and manufacturing operations to Layton City.

 

Congratulations to all involved in these projects.

 
Scott Hirschi's Shangri-La

If you haven't had a chance yet, check out July's Utah Business Magazine and the highlight on our own Scott Hirschi.  Fun article, although I have to take exception with Washington County having the best looking children and grandchildren....

Foreign Trade Zone in Salt Lake City

Salt Lake City is scheduled to be home to a new Foreign Trade Zone located on 57 acres at 1105 South 4800 West, near the Union Pacific intermodal facility and I-80.

 

The zone will be developed by The Rockefeller Group, headquartered in New York City.  The new industrial park will have more than 1 million square feet of industrial and manufacturing space.  Salt Lake has had an FTZ since 1977, but no real development occurred there and the old site was recently sold as part of the airport's expansion.
