Issues
facing Utah - Technology and Economic Development
Not all economic development is technology
related, but that is one of the more visible and rapidly growing
segments of the economy. So how does the state foster
economic development? If you look at my preceding points, you
will see that the foundation is already laid.
First, you foster strong families. Strong families produce citizens
with a good work ethic, stable character, and good moral judgment.
Second, you provide a good education with a rigorous core curriculum
that will enable graduates to enter either the work force or
college more fully prepared.
Third, you create a good transportation grid to make it easier
for companies to move goods and people around.
After laying the foundation, you want to ensure that taxes for
businesses are fair, equitable and easy to comply with.
The final step that government can take is to promote an information
grid. Information in today' s world is a very valuable commodity,
and the ability to move it around more efficiently is a huge
advantage in the marketplace.
