The Unified Economic Opportunity Commission (UEOC) develops, directs, and coordinates Utah’s statewide and regional economic development strategies. The commission informs policy decisions and builds consensus.

Gov. Spencer J. Cox chairs the commission. It includes senior leaders from Utah’s legislative and executive branches, education, local government, and subject matter experts.

The commission has three statutory subcommittees specializing in various components of Utah’s economic development strategy:

• Talent, Education, and Industry Alignment Board
• Subcommittee on Housing Affordability
• Subcommittee on Women in the Economy

The following are essential requirements and objectives of the commission:

• Develop a 10-year statewide economic opportunity strategy
• Develop solutions and policies for the significant challenges facing the state
• Identify solutions for economic, infrastructure, and transportation growth
• Identify solutions for education, training, and workforce development
• Ensure the commission’s efforts are data-driven and evidence-based

In addition, the UEOC is tasked with crafting strategic plans for each of Utah’s Targeted Industries and creating an economic vision for the state as it prepares to host the 2034 Olympics.
