A tech hub
Tech is so hot here, that the region where all the tech firms reside—from Ogden to Provo, with Salt Lake City in the middle—has been dubbed Silicon Slopes. Anchored by tech titans like Adobe, Oracle, Podium, Domo and Micron—the industry accounts for approximately 11.5 percent of the state economy, or $20.1 billion. This makes Utah the ninth-highest-ranked state in the nation for tech jobs.
The flat tax
Individuals and corporations in Utah pay a flat tax rate of 4.85%. Property tax in Utah is also favorable, sitting at 0.55%.
Airport ease
Getting in and out is easy, thanks to the new Salt Lake City International Airport, designed to accommodate 34 million passengers in its final phase.
Four-season fun
With four seasons of recreation, there’s never a bad time to explore Utah. The Beehive State offers a variety of outdoor recreation activities all year long thanks to the varied topography of mountains, desert, and forest.
National parks
Where national parks are concerned, only California and Alaska have more. Utah calls its spectacular collection, “The Mighty Five.” Arches National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, Canyonlands National Park, Capitol Reef National Park, and Zion National Park await!
Snow play
With 500 inches of snowfall per year on average and a ski season that typically spans mid-November through to April, there are lots of major ski resorts to explore, with several within an hour’s drive of Salt Lake City. Get a taste of Snowbird, Alta, Solitude Mountain Resort, Brighton Resort, Deer Valley Resort, Park City Mountain Resort, Sundance Mountain Resort, Snow Basin, and Powder Mountain.
