Local
Eagle Mountain City is a fantastic location for industries of almost all kinds. It is our goal to see substantial growth in commercial and industrial activity throughout our city over the next 10-20 years. We are determined to provide an excellent value and experience when developing your site(s) in Eagle Mountain. Our approval processes are kept as simple as possible and we have a very talented team able to work though any challenges. Tax increment financing (TIFs) is available through Eagle Mountain’s Redevelopment Agency for greenfield and brownfield sites with particular interest in first-of-a-kind industries. Feel free to reach out to discuss additional options and see how Eagle Mountain can meet your needs.
We have also completed the Development Ready Community Certification through the Economic Development Corporation of Utah. The program takes communities through a 5-step process including community assessment, planning, marketing, training and preparation, and EDCU integration and support. You can learn more HERE.
