The Chamber of Commerce took a giant step forward in 2009, becoming a Chamber for the entire Utah Valley community. The newly re-named Utah Valley Chamber of Commerce is the only Chamber in the valley with a full-time staff, and will use the 2010 year seeking ways to make a great community even better.

The valley continues to receive accolades for being one of America’s most livable, safest, fastest growing, conservative, healthy, well educated, and connected places in the nation.

It is also recognized as one of the best places to start a business. The Chamber is a non profit organization dedicated to the success of business, free enterprise, and making the community a better place to work and raise a family.

This year’s Resource Guide is designed to help facilitate the understanding of a great American region. It will be the front window for corporations looking to move to our valley, and will help give those wishing to move their families here a better understanding of the basic environment.

From great shopping areas, universities, mountains, medical facilities, airport, and people, Utah Valley has it all. You can ski at the nationally recognized Sundance Ski Resort day 6 | UV CHAMBER MAGAZINE

We hope that this year’s edition of the Resource Guide will be a great beginning in your introduction and association with Utah Valley, a very special place in the nation. Welcome to our neighborhood!

I Utah In U h Valley, V ll some off the h highest-valued h h l d attributes b — like l k safety, f entrepreneuriall opportunities, top-notch education and high income levels, and a family-friendly environment — combine to form one of the nation’s most livable communities.

S

ince the late 1980s, the Provo-Orem metro area has consistently ranked near the top of several lists detailing the best places to live, work or operate a company. It also has recently shot to the top of lists for entrepreneurs. Inc. magazine named it as a Boomtown for entrepreneurs in 2007, while Money Magazine ranked Orem in its top small cities in the United States to live and work in 2008.

Utah Valley enjoys a moderate, four-season alpine climate with low humidity, warm summer days, refreshing summer nights and winters that offer a blend of snow, crystal clear days and chilly evenings.

Even more attractive than the weather is Utah Valley’s solid, values-oriented culture. With excellent schools, peaceful neighborhoods and a low crime rate, the Provo/Orem area is a great place to raise a family. Orem, which calls itself “Family City USA,” was named the 12th safest city in America in 2005 by the Morgan Quitno Press, which analyzes FBI statistics to determine the safety levels of cities across the nation. Provo also enjoys a very low incidence of crime.

Until the mid-19th century, Utah Valley was the home of the Ute Indians. Fur trappers hunting beaver passed through the valley in the early 1800s, including French-Canadian trapper Etienne Provost, the man for whom Provo is named.

In 1849, Mormon pioneers established the permanent settlement that would become Provo. In the following years, towns sprouted all over the valley. Although agriculture dominated the valley’s economy for more than 100 years, Provo was home to the state’s first large manufacturing plant: the Provo Woolen Mills, built in 1873.

Today, Utah Valley is a Provo/Orem metro area is a thriving, growing location that offers excellent opportunities for education, employment and entrepreneurship while maintaining traditional values.

Religious Country Most people who visit or relocate to Utah are very curious about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, often referred to as the Mormons. The LDS Church has been the predominant religion in Utah since the state was first settled by the church’s members in the 1840s. Dozens of LDS Church meetinghouses dot the Utah County landscape.

While many Utah County residents belong to the LDS Church, a wide variety of religions flourish here.

Shopping Shoppers in Utah Valley have access to a mix of national and regional chain stores and local specialty shops. The chains are primarily concentrated in three malls â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Provo Towne Centre, University Mall, and The Shops at Riverwoods â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and shopping centers and strip malls along main thoroughfares across the valley. Many specialty shops can be found in Provoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown commercial district, and along the old Main Streets of towns around the county.

In August of 2005, outdoor outfitter giant Cabelaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opened a 175,000-square-foot superstore in Lehi that features a 35,000gallon aquarium, 430 taxidermy animals, an animatronic shooting gallery and running waterfalls that feed a trout pond.

For groceries, there are several options ranging from national chains and convenience stores to local independents and roadside fruit and vegetable stands where you buy directly from the producers. Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; markets offer another intriguing option, with farmers gathering to sell their produce in various locations during the summer months.

Dining Utah Valley offers an eclectic variety of restaurants, with choices ranging from steakhouses, drive-ins and old-fashioned â&#x20AC;&#x153;greasy spoonsâ&#x20AC;? to authentic Italian, Indian and Thai cuisine. A few restaurants are concentrated in Provoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown commercial district, but many are distributed through the Provo/Orem metro area. Others, such as Porterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Place in Lehi with its Old West ambience, or Springvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Art City Trolley, which is literally built into an old trolley car, are found in the smaller communities surrounding Provo and Orem.

Movie Theaters If dinner and a movie is what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for, the Provo/Orem metro area has several modern, luxurious, first-run movie theaters with stadium-style seating. For a bargain, try one of the valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $1.50 theaters, which screen films that are on their last leg before passing on to DVD.

THIS IS WHEN HAVING NATIONALLY-RENOWNED HEALTHCARE REALLY MATTERS.

At Intermountain Healthcare hospitals such as those in Utah Valley, we strive to improve healthcare through best practices. For example, by better managing heart surgery glucose levels, we’ve decreased mortality rates eight fold for patients with levels over 300mg/dl. And we’ve reduced the average heart attack treatment time to 67 minutes, beating the national goal by 23 minutes. We’re working to improve hundreds of clinical processes in the areas of cancer, women and newborns, pediatrics, and others.

Our efforts to improve care have been noticed by many national publications, and political and medical leaders.

That matters only because we’re striving to provide the quality care our patients deserve. We are committed to providing excellent healthcare to all the people we serve.

Utah Valley offers access to a variety of alternative health systems, including chiropractic clinics, homeopathy and acupuncture.

Utah Valley residents have unsurpassed opportunity for active lifestyles. In addition to fitness centers and municipal sports leagues throughout the valley, popular activities like hiking, hunting, mountain biking, SCUBA diving and rock climbing complete the scene.

Wi h a combination With bi i off economic i strength, h cutting-edge i d technology h l and d a spectacular l array of fine arts, it’s not surprising that Utah Valley provides a learning atmosphere for people of all ages. Two of the most recognizable features of the Provo/Orem metro area are large institutions of higher education – Brigham Young University and Utah Valley University. The international outreach of programs at BYU and UVU have helped place Utah Valley on the global map. Many countries worldwide are familiar with traveling performing groups from both of these schools.

O

ne of the largest private universities in the United States, BYU seeks to develop students of intellect and character who have the skills and the desire to continue learning and to serve others throughout their lives. BYU is a private university sponsored

by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but it draws a mix of students from different religious backgrounds and from all over the world. Founded in 1875, it is one of the leading private undergraduate universities in the West and offers a variety of advanced degrees.

BYU has received national renown for its law, engineering and business schools. The university also offers one of the nation’s leading distance education programs and hosts many forums and other events of interest to the local community. Aside from education programs, BYU’s performing arts groups provide a wide selection of performances each year.

Originally a vocational school, Utah Valley University became official on July 1, 2008. It added a master’s degree in education, and a new state-of-the-art library. After 24 months of construction and three trips to the Utah State Legislature to secure funding, the library is open for campus and public use. The public can pay a yearly fee of $20 to check out books and media. In addition to continuing with its technical, trade and industrial programs as diverse as aviation science, diesel mechanics and telecommunications, UVU has traditional academic areas ranging from business and computer science to philosophy and physics. UVU also hosts many community programs, including community education and the Small Business Development Center.

Due to the school’s rapid growth, it opened the Wasatch Campus in Heber City in 2003. The satellite campus currently offers Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degrees, plus bachelor degrees in elementary education, technology management, business and nursing.

In Orem, the Mountainland Applied Technology College provides vocational training both to high school students and adults. This school serves approximately 10,000 students annually through its certificate and associate degree programs. Part of the Utah System of Higher Education, MATC is one of several campuses that make up the Utah College of Applied Technology. Tuition is free for concurrently enrolled high school students, who are referred to the college through their school counselor. Students of all ages can explore their field of interest, gain needed certifications for higher-level training, advance to a higher-paying profession, or simply gain an advantage if they are entering the work force for the first time.

Families in the Provo/Orem metro area have access to excellent elementary and secondary schools, both public and private. The Alpine, Provo and Nebo school districts all emphasize top-flight academics. Technology and computers play a significant role in education from an early age, and many high school students make progress toward college degrees through advanced placement and concurrent enrollment programs.

There also are several options for parents seeking a private-school education for their children and several charter schools offer an alternative as well.

Modern Shoe on Center Street in Provo remodeled and celebrated its 69th anniversary in 2009.

T

he Provo/Orem metro area has a vibrant, modern business economy centered on high-tech companies and supported by a young, educated population — including more than 50,000 students at the area’s two major institutions of higher education — and fueled by the entrepreneurial spirit of its residents. Utah Valley’s business-friendly environment has consistently attracted media attention. Inc. Magazine ranked the area in the top 40 of its Boomtowns ‘07 list, which presents the nation’s best cities to do business.

Provo/Orem was listed in the top 10 cities to live in for good salary growth by Payscale.com, siting rapid growth in information service industry and strong business investment in the tech sector, which should help the area ride out the slowdown in the economy in good form.

In the early 1980s, Utah Valley’s entrepreneurial spirit merged with the computer age to reap the most fundamental changes the area economy had seen since the arrival of manufacturing. WordPerfect and Novell were pioneers in the development of word processing and networking software, respectively. WordPerfect was eventually purchased by Corel and moved to Canada. Novell, a leading provider of networking software worldwide, relocated its corporate headquarters to Waltham, Mass., with a key facility remaining in Provo as one of the area’s economic anchors.

Utah County boasts an exceptional infrastructure, particularly for high-tech companies, but also for traditional manufacturing and services. Its booming population continues to grow, and its young, intelligent and educated work force promises to be the most important resource for current and future businesses.

U h Valley Utah V ll is passionate about b the h arts. L Lovers off culture l enjoy h hundreds d d off artistic exhibits, hb performances and events in the Provo/Orem metro area and throughout the surrounding valley.

M

any cities in the valley have an arts council or other organization devoted to promoting the arts in their communities and a wide variety of performance locations exist from intimate playhouses to large outdoor concert venues. Privately owned and community-sponsored theaters offer plays and musicals and the McKay Events Center at Utah Valley University hosts major concert events. Many musical groups, including the Utah Valley Symphony, perform at the Provo Tabernacle, a venue prized for its highquality acoustics. Just a few minutes’ drive up Provo Canyon, Sundance resort hosts abundant activities, events and classes year-round.

The valley is home to two major art museums: the Springville Museum of Art and the Brigham Young University Museum of Art. Located just a few minutes south of Provo, the Springville Museum of Art is Utah’s oldest museum for the visual fine arts. Its impressive collection, including more than 1,500 works of Utah and American art, is housed in an attractive Spanish Colonial Revival building completed in 1937. Its annual art shows include exhibits by talented Utah artists, the annual Religious & Spiritual Art exhibition and the acclaimed Spring Salon. During the 2002 Winter Olympics, the Springville museum served as Utah Valley’s only official Cultural Olympiad venue.

In Provo, the Brigham Young University Museum of Art offers a more modern ambience and temporary exhibits of a larger scope.

Opened in October 1993, the museum holds a collection of more than 16,000 “objects” in a 100,000-square-foot building. It is one of the largest museum facilities in the Intermountain West. Temporary exhibits have included shows on art from the ancient Mediterranean world, the ancient Etruscan civilization and the Imperial Tombs of China.

A number of cultural and history museums also are found throughout the valley as well as smaller art galleries.

BYU and UVU both offer fine arts programs and create many opportunities for audiences to attend musicals, Shakespearean plays, dance performances and other arts events performed by talented students. In the summer, many communities produce major musical productions cast with local performers. Local orchestras and bands perform concerts throughout the year.

Thanksgiving Point

Sundance Resort

Thanksgiving Point is a must-visit Utah Valley entertainment site. Located just off Interstate 15 in Lehi, Thanksgiving Point has beautiful themed gardens, a world-class golf course, farm animals, shopping, dining and one of the largest dinosaur museums in the world. It is a place where the whole family can relax, learn and enjoy.

One of the most popular attractions is the North American Museum of Ancient Life. It features more than 60 dinosaur skeletal displays and more than 50 hands-on exhibits like the Erosion Table and fossil rubbing. Also great for kids is Farm Country, where workers teach children about life on a farm. Here children can feed the animals, milk a cow and go on a pony ride.

Another highlight is the Thanksgiving Gardens. Here visitors can wander through 55 acres of world-class gardens in more than 10 different themes. The gardens feature the Children’s Discovery Gardens and Waterfall Amphitheater, which contains one of the largest man-made waterfalls in the Western Hemisphere.

Thanksgiving Point also is a great entertainment venue that hosts various family-oriented concerts and shows. For dates and times, visit its Web site at www.thanksgivingpoint.com. Also, don’t miss out on the 3D Mammoth Screen Theater.

Cradled on the slopes of Mount Timpanogos, Sundance resort is one of Utah County’s most treasured features. The resort is best known for the annual Sundance Film Festival, considered the premier U.S. showcase for American and international independent film. The festival, held in January, attracts the film industry’s most prominent contributors including filmmakers, producers, actors and more. An audience of film lovers from every walk of life completes the scene. Films are screened in Park City, Salt Lake City and the resort itself.

Sundance offers resources for artists, art lovers and amateurs to experience artwork and improve their artistic skills. The Sundance Gallery features works of art by prestigious artists from across the country, and the Sundance Art Shack offers a range of workshops, from jewelry- and pottery-making to photography, painting and drawing classes. Resident artists tailor instruction to each individual’s skill level. During the summer, films, musical and theatrical performances are held in the outdoor amphitheater.

With its pristine setting and abundant natural resources, Sundance is a popular destination for outdoor activities year-round: hiking, biking and horseback riding in summer, and skiing and snowboarding, including night skiing added in 2009, in winter.

ecreation & Liesure 201 20 2010

Whether it’s skiing, hiking, rock climbing, boating or hunting, Utah Valley has an outdoor adventure for most interest and age. From rugged peaks and crystal-clear mountain rivers to the quiet serenity of Utah Lake and Deer Creek Reservoir, the majestic landscape affords hundreds of recreational opportunities.

H

iking, camping, fishing, horseback riding, mountain biking and water sports of all kinds are favorite pastimes in Utah Valley’s temperate summertime, while hunting, snowmobiling, ice climbing and downhill and cross-country skiing satisfy the adventurous during the colder months.

The valley’s central location puts it within a half-day’s drive of 15 national parks, monuments and recreation areas — the largest concentration of such attractions in any state south of Alaska, according to the Utah Valley Visitor Guide’s Web site. Many of Utah’s world-class ski resorts are located within an hour’s drive of Utah Valley.

Utah Valley is a great place for outdoor leisure activities and family outings. Visit Bridal Veil Falls in Provo Canyon for a picnic, or hike the paved trail to Timpanogos Cave National Monument for a guided tour of its caverns. With giant water slides, pools and a lazy river, Seven Peaks Water Park in Provo offers all-day fun, while Thanksgiving Point features a 55-acre display garden and

an animal park.

If you’d rather watch the action from the sidelines, the Provo/ Orem metro area gives you access to enough sporting events to keep you entertained year-round. Brigham Young University boasts one of the country’s best all-around athletic programs, regularly fielding highly competitive teams in every sport from men’s baseball to women’s volleyball. And Utah Valley University has built a tradition of its own. And check out Pioneer League baseball with the Orem Owlz at the Brent Brown Ballpark at UVU, plus the Flash, the D League basketball affiliate for the Utah Jazz, also playing on the UVU campus.

Utah Valley has a selection of fine golf courses and hosts several professional golf tournaments, including the Provo Open in the spring at the East Bay Golf Course. Several pro-am tournaments are held at courses from Eagle Mountain to Spanish Fork. Visit the Utah Golf Association at www.uga.org for more information.

Blade-Free Precision Laser?

The Safest LASIK Procedure...

...Just Became Better.

Introducing Utahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only new iFS IntraLaseâ&#x201E;˘ laser.

Six years ago, Hoopes Vision was the first LASIK practice to introduce the safety of blade-free IntraLaseâ&#x201E;˘ to the Salt Lake Valley. This laser revolutionized the LASIK procedure by providing a safer and better method of creating the corneal flap by replacing the older razor-blade microkeratome method. Continuing our commitment to provide our patients with the newest and best technology available, Hoopes Vision is proud to introduce Utahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first and only iFS IntraLaseâ&#x201E;˘ (5th generation) laser. This all new laser improves upon previous generations of IntraLaseâ&#x201E;˘ lasers by providing a faster, more comfortable procedure, stronger flap adherence with specially designed inverted bevel-in edges that reduce the possibility of flap wrinkling and slippage, and customizeable surgery features designed to improve treatment of astigmatism, preserve more cornea structural strength, and further reduce the risk of dry eye.

Hoopes Vision is also home to Utahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most experienced LASIK and IntraLASIK surgeons and Utahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most technologically advanced laser center.

Our wavefront optimized lasers allow us to combine the benefits of the new improved iFS IntraLaseâ&#x201E;˘ laser with a procedure designed to improve vision while â&#x20AC;&#x153;virtually eliminating night vision problems of halo and glare.â&#x20AC;?

You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to sacrifice affordability for the newest technology. Zero down, 0% interest for 24 months, or low interest payments up to 60 months makes the best and newest technology affordable for nearly any budget. Plus, bring in the coupon below and save $800 off your new iFS IntraLASIK procedureâ&#x20AC;˘.

rovo and Orem both offer a variety of housing options, from condominiums and townhomes to older, mature neighborhoods and upscale developments. As land becomes scarcer for residential development in the Provo/Orem area, much of the growth is happening in the smaller surrounding communities.

The cities of Lehi and Pleasant Grove, both located on the northern end of Utah Valley, are experiencing aggressive growth.

The former frontier town of Lehi has become a popular destination for commuters because of its convenient location about halfway between Provo/Orem and Salt Lake City. Lehi also is experiencing major retail and commercial development.

Utah was the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fastest-growing state in 2008. The stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population climbed by 2.5 percent from July 2007 to July 2008, according to new population estimates from the Census Bureau.

West of Lehi, planned communities Eagle Mountain and Saratoga Springs offer affordable homes and distinctive lifestyles.

Northern cities such as American Fork, Alpine and Highland also are home to many attractive new housing developments.

In the south end of the county, Spanish Fork, Payson, Salem and Santaquin offer a more rural environment with affordable real estate prices and convenient access to shopping.

The Utah County Association of Realtors says the future looks bright for 2010.

Brooke Curnow, communications director for the association, says they have a lot of inventory and foresee good business as the year goes on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rates are lower than they have ever been before,â&#x20AC;? Curnow said, speaking of mortgage loan rates. With lots of inventory, she said you could call it a buyers market, and the association anticipates getting busier and busier throughout the year.
