To date, Utah has focused on creating new high-paying jobs that boost the economy. In this podcast, Hemmert and Clark discuss quality of life and economic development challenges like housing affordability, inclusivity, diversity, and providing economic opportunities to all Utahns as critical touchpoints to maintain Utah’s already diverse and enviable economy.
