The Salt Lake Chamber seeks to align the private sector behind solutions to housing affordability, transportation, and growth. Utah Rising: A Free Enterprise Vision for Utah’s Economy is an initiative that expands the scope to businesses across the state.
“You can look out the windows of this room today and see how (Salt Lake City) has risen and how it continues to rise,” said Derek Miller, president and CEO of the Salt Lake Chamber. “Now, we face a situation where this is about more than just downtown rising or one single city rising. We have seen growth across our entire state over the last 20 years and that’s why we are calling this a vision for Utah rising, and Utah Rising will ensure that Utah’s economy and its people prosper far into the future.”
The chamber has its eyes on several key aspirations over the next decade. It hopes to play an instrumental role in bringing the Olympic Games back to the Beehive State in 2034 and bringing major league baseball and hockey teams to the capital city.
