Frequently Asked Questions
Why don’t certain businesses locate in Eagle Mountain?
You might see a location of any given business doing really well in another city, but they may not be ready to locate in Eagle Mountain. We don’t build for them and can’t force them to come. Many businesses are highly data-driven now and look for key traits in a population to establish how many likely customers they could have. If you ever have questions about a specific store, feel free to reach out to our Economic Development Director.
Which businesses is the City trying to bring to our community?
As a very new city, Eagle Mountain could sustain many new businesses from various industries. That being said, the City is targeting some businesses based on resident demand, while on others, based on known gaps in the market that align with our community’s preferences and values.
Will we ever see desired businesses in Eagle Mountain?
Most businesses, especially those with multiple locations, are really good at identifying their customers and where to find them. Depending on how the city develops over time, we could see many new businesses join our community that we thought we’d never see. However, others never join despite being a frequent shopper at a location elsewhere in Utah county. Businesses are looking at customer attributes, such as: median income, daytime traffic (not commuting traffic), median age, and population densities.
Where are all the jobs? Why pursue datacenters?
Eagle Mountain City actively recruits companies that provide quality, high-paying jobs for our residents. This effort is paramount to a strong, economically sustainable community and would greatly help our traffic challenges. Datacenters may not provide great density of permanent jobs, but they bring in high-capacity infrastructure that can benefit other future employers.
