Utah Ranked #1 for Expected Economic Recovery

Utah Business.Com

A new report from the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) offers a roadmap to recovery based on economic performance trends from states over the last 10 years.

Author Dr. Arthur B. Laffer and his co-authors, Stephen Moore, senior economics writer at The Wall Street Journal, and Jonathan Williams, director of the Tax and Fiscal Policy Task Force for ALEC, found that, “states with a high and rising tax burden are more likely to suffer through economic decline, while those with lower and falling tax burdens are more likely to enjoy robust economic growth.”

Top Five States
1. Utah
2. Colorado
3. Arizona
4. Virginia
5. South Dakota

UDOT I15 Core Project Workshop

THE UTAH DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (UDOT)

THE UTAH DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (UDOT)
is getting started on one of the largest roadway projects in the state’s history—restoring and expanding I-15 from Lehi to Spanish Fork. I-15 CORE will rebuild aging infrastructure and improve the movement of goods and services throughout the state.
 

UDOT and the project contractor have plans in place to limit road and lane closures, but there will be times when construction could cause significant travel delays.
In partnership with local Chambers of Commerce, UDOT wants to help
businesses prepare for the inconveniences that road construction can cause for employees, customers and business operations.
