PR or News Wire August 4, 2010

Utah has moved up in many key categories in one of the nation’s top economic development publications, ranking high in everything from quality of life to tax structure.

The annual Rankings Report by Business Facilities magazine, released Monday, is yet another sign that Governor Herbert’s economic development plan is headed in the right direction.

“Across all of our key rankings categories, Utah clearly exhibited the most dramatic improvement of any state in the nation,” said Jack Rogers, Business Facilities’ editor in chief.

Utah ranked No. 1 in Quality of Life, and improved its ranking in several categories, including Best Education Climate, Best Business Climate and Best Transportation Infrastructure in this year’s rankings.
