State needs to promote self better

January 19, 2008View for printing

Utah, already armed with financial and other incentives to lure businesses, needs to do a better job at letting people know about those attributes, according to a couple of site selectors who are part of a group that helps companies figure out the best place to put operations.

George Tobjy, senior manager for strategic relocation and expansion services for KPMG LLP, and Terry L. Hansen, manager of public partnerships for IBM, told the Governor's Office of Economic Development Board on Friday that Utah needs to "refine its message" as it promotes itself and its incentives packages.

"You have to make sure that Utah is perceived as something special," Tobjy said.
