From Deseret News:
Not only is Utah outperforming the national economy, there’s about to be an announcement that more new jobs are coming to the state, Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. said Tuesday at the Utah Taxpayers Association annual conference.
“The outlook is quite good. I would put it this way, I would say there is a very definite and distinct buzz about the Utah marketplace, not just here in the United States but indeed, throughout the world,” Huntsman said. “More jobs in the pipeline? No question about it.”
And although the governor said an announcement about those new jobs would be made in the coming weeks, details including an incentive package are expected to be discussed at Friday’s meeting of the Governor’s Office of Economic Development Board.
A GOED spokesman had little to say Tuesday. “Until we actually offer an incentive, we have nothing to announce on that because it’s not completed yet,” the spokesman, Michael Sullivan, said of what he described only as jobs that would be provided by a single company.
