Why Northwest Weber Industrial Park?
There’s something decidedly attractive about Utah that goes beyond scenery. Almost everything—from central location and competitive cost of doing business to pro-business leadership and healthy, highly educated workforce—makes an irrefutable case for relocating part or all of your operation here.
No Utility Sales & Use Tax - Site Specific
The Northwest Weber Industrial Park is located in the western part of the unincorporated area in Weber County. Being positioned there allows all businesses and residences to forego the 6% energy sales and use tax imposed on business and property owners located within the borders of a municipality. Depending on the size and scope of your business, avoiding this levy can save upwards of hundreds of thousands of dollars for your company on a yearly basis.
Economic Development Tax Increment Financing, State program (EDTIF)
The EDTIF tax credit is a post-performance, refundable tax credit rebate for up to 30% of new state revenues (sales, corporate, and withholding taxes paid to the state) over the life of the project (typically 5-10 years). It is available to companies seeking relocation and expansion of operations to the State of Utah who are looking to add at least 50 jobs with annual wages of at least 110% of county average annual wages, have demonstrated company stability and profitability, and have demonstrated competition with other locations. Companies must also obtain commitment from the local government to provide local incentives. State of Utah site
Custom Fit Training
Custom Fit Training is a partnership between the Utah Colleges of Applied Technology and other select sister institutions across the state and the local business community. Its mission is to provide customized employee training to businesses at an affordable cost. The Utah State Legislature appropriates funds each year as an investment in custom fit training.
