There are a variety of ways to create economic development but are the obvious strategies (luring unicorns to your community) really the best?

We tour the grand opening of the latest rural co-working innovation center in Vernal Utah as a center for small businesses to make use of resources such as fiber internet and office space to help grow their business without the overhead that a traditional office space can bring. How do these hubs fit into the efforts of the Governor’s Office of Economic Development, USU’s Rural Online Initiative and efforts at the county level to expand the opportunities available in Rural Utah? We’ll find out what makes the right mix for keeping talent in the community for homegrown economic development.

Guests:
Paul Hill, USU Extension Professor
Jerry Taylor, Garfield County Commissioner
Ryan Starks, Governor’s Office of Economic Development

ABOUT THE COUNTY SEAT: The County Seat is a public affairs program about the functions and issues of county elected officials and county government in UTAH. The County Seat is designed to provide the essentials to being an informed and engaged citizens in what we view as the most important level of government to daily life, county government. Topics range from the life of a ballot to the wild horses on public lands. The majority of Utah’s 29 counties are rural with a concentration of urban issues along the Wasatch Front. This dynamic lends an interesting twist to the show where we highlight a number of rural issues that the majority of Utahns may not be as familiar with. #CountiesMatter #CoutySeatS11E08
