Utah Valley a Great Place ‘To Start Over’
Posted on 24. Jun, 2009 by Adam Weight in Business & Economy
Cary Snowden over at Utah Valley Business Blog noticed a great piece of news from BusinessWeek that is worth sharing.
With nearly 24 percent of our local businesses planning to hire in the next quarter, BusinessWeek has named Utah Valley as the second ‘Best Place To Start Over‘ in the country.
Citing Information Technology as one of the booming industries in Utah Valley, BusinessWeek also makes mention of our relatively low average home price and slightly lower (comparative) unemployment rate. In particular, BusinessWeek states that even though our local Utah Valley economy has weakened in recent months, that a strong technology market, and local opportunities with BYU and UVU continue to buoy us up in hard times.
No doubt our local flair for innovation and entrepreneurship have helped to make Utah Valley one of the best places in The United States to start over.
If you have a business or are considering starting a business, check out the great resources and networking tools available on the Utah Valley Business Blog site.

Upbeat news for our valley. We forget sometimes how lucky we are to live and work here. I know people in other parts of the country who are really hurting… we are fortunate. Let’s keep working hard and keep the mindset!
