September 21st Sky Ute Casino

Our community is inheriting new challenges and opportunities in a post pandemic economy. How do we preserve the social fabric of our community that has been tested by the changes of the last couple of years while balancing economic growth? It is done by a commitment to our culture starting with quality of life. It is done by understanding our workforce transformation and identifying resources for our businesses to reach their full capacity and potential. It is done by making sure the human side of economic development takes precedence and that we lead with heart.
