Utah Business Leaders Unveil 10-Year Economic Vision Focused on Housing, Transit, and Luring Sports Teams

Utah business leaders have unveiled an economic vision called "Utah Rising" to align the private sector behind solutions to issues like housing, transportation, and growth over the next decade.

Goals include attracting major sports teams, the 2034 Olympics, and continuing Utah's economic prosperity.

Transportation innovation is needed to meet demand from population growth, with business input key to expand public transit.

AI technology presents opportunities to increase efficiency and productivity, but could also lead to job losses in some industries.

The Utah Rising initiative was developed over the past year and will formally launch its 10-year economic vision plan this fall.
