Governor sets work-force goal

Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. outlined plans Thursday to keep Utah’s economy humming, including the development of a research park along the border of Hill Air Force Base.

Speaking to a crowd of about 800 at the Governor’s Utah Economic Summit at the Grand America Hotel, Huntsman said the Falcon Hill Aerospace Research Park could be a center for companies specializing in advanced materials, composites and propulsion systems.

He envisions such a research park as an economic engine akin to the University of Utah Research Park, which has 4,700 employees at 42 companies and has launched 17 firms from its technology during the past year alone.
