MAKING “THE POINT” By Alan Matheson, Executive Director of the Point of the Mountain State Land Authority
What today is the site of the Utah State Prison will, in a few years, become a thriving, future-focused innovation community known as “The Point.” The Point presents market opportunities that are unavailable anywhere else. In summer 2022, the state prison will move from Draper to its new location, opening the door to an unparalleled 600-acre economic development and quality-of-life opportunity. Utah has led the nation over the last decade in population growth and economic performance, and The Point is at the epicenter of that growth. For the past 10 years, half of all new businesses in the region have been located in the Point of the Mountain area.
