Provo is Utah County’s Central Business District. Brandon Fugal on Jessop’s Journeys

(DOUG JESSOP – JESSOP’ JOURNEYS) If you drive up and down interstate 15, I ensure you’ve found Brandon Fugal’s name on indicators. As the Chairman of Colliers Intercontinental, Brandon is what I like to get in touch with the “keeper of the crystal ball” when it will come to economic trends.

1 of the greatest tendencies Brandon likes to discuss about is Provo. According to him, “Provo is Utah County’s Central Small business District.” We frequented about a new building climbing in downtown Provo named “Freedom Commons,” and is the to start with “Class A” business place creating in Provo in above a ten years (observe the movie to get the rest of the details).

My target with Jessop’s Journeys is to find “people, locations and factors you may well not know about.” Brandon shared the next points about economic expansion in Provo.

• As Utah’s 2^nd oldest metropolis (launched in 1850), Provo has always been and continues to be the center of Utah County / Utah Valley
• Major Metropolis in Utah Co. – 120,000 pop.
• Center for training, healthcare, authorities, transportation, hospitality
• Thrilling, livable, historic downtown (the only one particular in Utah County)

There are extra than 20,000 included communities in The us. Although many are prospering, other folks are struggling. Provo City is location the town typical, not just locally, but nationally, as revealed by its getting named the nation’s 2001’s Best-Run Metropolis.

So what is the top secret sauce that Provo City has discoated that has gained them the moniker “Central Small business District of Utah County?”

Town leaders simply call it “The Provo Gain.” What really don’t you know about Provo? You can signal up for a regular monthly electronic mail at ProvoConnect.com to locate out.

Everyone has a story. I strongly truly feel that “stories have power”. Chances are that if you are heading as a result of one thing, that a person else likely has as very well. The shared activities we individuals have can assistance each and every other. That my good friend would make the position that tales “help us realize each other.”

You don’t have to agree with absolutely everyone, but in my view, if men and women would just take far more time receiving to figuring out a lot more about some others and the place they are coming from, we just may possibly obtain out that we have far more similarities than differences.
