Securing Provo’s long-term economic vibrancy is a top priority. Being honored as the nation’s Best-Performing Large City by the Milken Institute two years running is a reflection of what we have known all along – Provo IS the best place to live and do business.
Access to incredible employment capital from two universities and a thriving entrepreneurship environment make Provo a great place for businesses—and our cost of living and easy access to four-season outdoor recreation make Provo a perfect place to call home.
This is also a day for celebrating our economic development team for fostering an extraordinary climate for businesses to succeed. Provo has long been known for its quality of life. When you factor in that we also lead the nation in job growth, it’s no wonder businesses, families, and individuals want to locate here.
I want businesses large and small to know we're eager for them to come locate here. They will find in Provo an extraordinary workforce, a vibrant hi-tech industry, and a culturally rich community with loads of incredible recreational opportunities right at their doorstep.
