A third inland port is coming to the Beehive State, with the latest installment set to call Utah County home.
Board of Directors during a meeting Monday, the Verk Industrial Park Project Area will be located in Spanish Fork and will serve as a strategic location due in part to its close proximity to both I-15 and U.S. 6.
"It's strategic in its location because it really allows us to, hopefully, help takes trucks off the road farther to the south along the Wasatch Front. I think it also helps us open shipping corridors to ports that perhaps we haven't worked with, so ports up in the northwest part of the United States," Hart said.Utah County was the state's leader in absolute growth
"What we're going to be targeting are high-paying jobs, particularly in durable, forward-facing industries — meaning industries that aren't just going to be here today, gone tomorrow, but really are going to be a strong economic foundation for the economy for years to come," Hart said. "We're able to harness the local property taxes that are going to be generated by this project along with, potentially, other state revenues that come from our infrastructure bank to really focus and help invest into this area," Hart said.
