A look at EDCUtah’s work to attract investment, support business growth, and create new economic opportunities across Utah.
Measuring EDCUtah's Impact Across Utah
2025/2026 Annual Report
Key performance indicators
79 New Projects
A total of 79 new corporate expansion and relocation projects entered EDCUtah’s pipeline in FY 2026. EDCUtah defines a new project as a company interested in Utah and able to provide three of the following: number of jobs, capital investment, square footage, project timeline, and budget approval.
12 Project Wins
This year, 12 companies announced a final decision to relocate or expand in Utah.
8k+ New & Retained Jobs
The 12 companies that chose Utah also committed to create 6,909 new jobs and retain 1,610 existing jobs over the life of their projects. This is perhaps EDCUtah’s most important KPI because of what it represents: job security and new employment for Utah residents.
$20.2 B Capital Investment
Capital investment (capex) quantifies the total amount of money companies anticipate spending on Utah real estate and equipment over the life of their projects.
2.4 M Square Footage Absorption
This metric tracks the projected real estate footprint of EDCUtah's project wins—how much physical space these newly-relocated or newly-expanded companies will ultimately absorb.
