Today, the Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) awarded Motorola Solutions, Inc. a post-performance tax reduction for its expansion in Salt Lake County, for its Silvus Technologies business. The corporate incentive is part of the state’s Economic Development Tax Increment Financing (EDTIF) program.
“This expansion is a textbook example of our strategic framework for economic development in action,” said Jefferson Moss, commissioner of GOED. “We are proud to support Motorola Solutions’ continued growth that reinforces Utah’s rapid emergence as a premier destination for information technology, aerospace and defense, and advanced manufacturing industries.”
Motorola Solutions is a global leader in mission-critical communications, video security, access control and command center technology, providing solutions for public safety and enterprise customers. In 2025, the company acquired Silvus Technologies, significantly enhancing its portfolio in mission-critical mobile ad hoc networks and wireless communication. The proposed project in Salt Lake County will enable the company to scale its manufacturing capacity to meet the growing demand for advanced tactical networking solutions from Silvus Technologies, which are used in the military and public safety sectors.
“Today’s announcement represents an exciting milestone for our company,” said Jack Molloy, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Motorola Solutions. “Utah’s strong business climate provides an ideal environment for us to confidently expand our operations for Silvus Technologies and meet the growing demand for mission-critical communication solutions from our defense and public safety customers.”
“We see an ideal opportunity in this expansion,” said Ben Hart, executive director of the Utah Inland Port Authority. “As Utah’s economy grows, logistics demands grow, and it’s imperative that we as a state come together to sustainably support this momentum in our supply chain. Motorola’s commitment to scaling in Salt Lake County further establishes Utah as a pivotal hub in global industry.”
“Motorola Solutions’ expansion reflects one of Salt Lake City’s greatest strengths: we are connected in every sense of the word,” said Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall. “With the airport just minutes away, direct access to I-80 and I-15, and a dynamic downtown nearby, companies can grow here–and their teams can experience the restaurants, culture, and outdoor access that make people proud to call Salt Lake City home.”
