Northern Utah Economic Alliance
resource active confidence: Medium status: Draft updated 2026-08-11
Summary
The Northern Utah Economic Alliance markets Davis and Weber counties to expanding employers and site selectors. Regional coordination can sharpen an attraction pitch, but it does not itself create the companies, jobs, or infrastructure it promotes.
Who It's For
Companies expanding or relocating to Davis or Weber counties; site selectors evaluating northern Utah; existing employers seeking regional workforce and quality-of-life data — less direct support for pre-revenue idea-stage founders.
What It Provides
Business and investment resources, commercial real estate database (listed and unlisted), relocation guide, regional research, labor and infrastructure information, and direct contact with NUEA president Chris Roybal for expansion questions.
How To Use It

Cost / Eligibility
No public fee for initial business attraction inquiries. NUEA is a public-private regional marketing alliance; specific services are negotiated case by case.
Best Fits
A growing company choosing between Davis/Weber sites, or an out-of-state operator evaluating Layton, Ogden, or Farmington for a facility — especially defense, manufacturing, or outdoor brands. Pair with county ED and GOEO for incentives.
