Advocating for Utah’s Future: Business and Community Leaders Visit D.C.
The Salt Lake Chamber, with a dedicated group of business executives and community leaders, went to Washington, D.C., September 26-29, 2023, to meet with members of Utah’s congressional delegation to discuss the business community’s federal priorities for the upcoming year.
The priorities covered a range of topics from immigration and permitting reform to grid resiliency and fiscal responsibility. The Chamber works with our elected officials to be responsive to challenges and committed to securing prosperity for all Utahns.
The Salt Lake Chamber and its members are committed to sustaining Utah’s strong economy and the prosperity of its people.

2024 Legislative Session Embraces “The New Utah”
On January 12, 2024, the Salt Lake Chamber hosted the annual Utah Economic Outlook & Public Policy Summit with the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute to release its 2024 legislative priorities. The Chamber identified several priorities for public policy, chief among them being affordable housing, homelessness, water infrastructure and conservation and workforce development.
The Summit presents an unrivaled opportunity for attendees to gain insights into the future of Utah’s economy and the business community’s policy priorities. At this year’s Summit, government and business leaders discussed the changing times of “The New Utah” and what we can expect moving into the next decade. Experts shared best practices for working with elected officials during the legislative session and methods for finding common ground.
Over 45 intensive days, the Utah Legislature undertook the critical task of prioritizing the state budget and addressing key issues. Throughout this time period, the Chamber’s policy team worked relentlessly to champion policies that foster a thriving business climate and resilient communities statewide.
The Chamber team actively engaged with legislators, delivered expert testimony in committee hearings and provided research and analysis to shape informed policy decisions. The objective remained clear: to ensure Utah is strategically positioned to embrace challenges and seize opportunities of its rapidly growing economy.
2024 Legislative Reception.
To unleash the great opportunities that come with the type of unprecedented change Utah is experiencing, we must enact policy that supports Utah’s economy and its residents’ quality of life, by being deliberate about the policies we put our efforts towards.

2024 Legislation Session Highlight
Utah’s Business Community Asks Legislature to Support Gov. Cox’s Homelessness Appropriation Budget Requests
The Salt Lake Chamber and business leaders strongly urged the Utah Legislature to support Governor Cox’s comprehensive homelessness appropriation budget requests.
The budget, which supports Utah’s comprehensive statewide plan to address homelessness was developed in collaboration with state agencies and the support of hundreds of community leaders, including the Utah Impact Partnership. At a press conference held downtown, business leaders gathered to share the positive changes they’ve seen already.
While Salt Lake City bears a disproportionate burden of homelessness, this challenge does not impact the Capital City alone. Utah’s incidence of homelessness increased 23 percent last year. As a statewide business association, the Chamber recognizes this is a statewide challenge that requires a statewide solution.
We urge you to fund the appropriation to sustain improvements, such as increasing stable housing, better access to support services and preventing homelessness through early intervention. We also recognize that a comprehensive and effective solution requires that an increase in funding must be matched with an increase in enforcement of public safety laws.

Insights for Leaders: Roadmap to Prosperity Economic Dashboard
The Salt Lake Chamber, in partnership with the University of Utah’s Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute, releases the Roadmap to Prosperity Economic Dashboard to inform business leaders’ understanding of Utah’s economy. This tool prioritizes key data on the state’s economic outlook and actionable context for decision-makers.
The Dashboard is updated monthly, providing essential insights, tracking timely and leading measures, and sharing pertinent indicators. This provides leaders with critical and timely information to make informed decisions.
Take a look how things have changed over the course of a year:
Essential Insights from August 2023
I. Tight labor market conditions persist in Utah.
Utah employment continues to grow at impressive rates as more workers enter the labor force. Utah’s labor force participation rate ranks highest nationally, and the unemployment rate consistently remains among the lowest in the nation.
II. Inflation ticks up slightly but stays far below recent highs.
The Federal Reserve’s aggressive tightening policies helped bring inflation down from 9.1% to 3.0% from June 2022 to June 2023. Inflation increased slightly in July to 3.2% but remains low relative to last year’s highs.
III. Utah’s median home sales price increases steadily in summer months.
After peaking in May 2022, Utah’s median home sales price reached an 18-month low in January 2023. Yet home sales prices have climbed gradually in recent months, reaching an 11-month high in June 2023.
Essential Insights from July 2024
I. Utah annual employment growth accelerated to 2.8% while U.S. employment growth slowed to 1.6%.
Utah’s strong year-over employment growth increases the state’s ranking from 11th in May to 6th highest employment growth in July. Conversely, U.S. employment growth has slowed for four consecutive months.
II. Salt Lake City airport passengers reached a monthly high in June with nearly 2.6 million travelers.
Salt Lake City airport travel continues to rise. July 2023 set the previous record, yet increased demand and capacity continue to contribute to the airport’s increased traffic.
III. Year-over inflation fell to 2.9% in July.
After inflation upticks earlier in the year, inflation has fallen for four consecutive months, increasing expectations that the Federal Reserve will begin to lower the federal funds rate in coming months.
Utah Community Builders and the Salt Lake Chamber Release Fair Chance Hiring Guide
On January 8, 2024, the Salt Lake Chamber and Utah Community Builders released the “Fair Chance Hiring Guide,” a new resource for the business community to learn about hiring individuals previously involved with the justice system and make a positive impact on the lives of those seeking a second chance.
The “Fair Chance Hiring Guide” provides steps and resources for employers to utilize when in the hiring process, such as reviewing and adapting policies to remove barriers, developing onboarding programs that provide training and support and sourcing talent from a variety of channels. In addition, the guide provides insights into the legal aspects of fair chance hiring, ensuring businesses operate within the bounds of Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) laws, local ordinances and state regulations.
I am grateful for the opportunity Sunroc has given me to develop and pursue my full potential. This allowed me to grow from laborer to construction supervisor. Many companies only saw the criminal record and shut the door before they had a chance to consider my capability and my work ethic. Because Sunroc gave me the opportunity to create value through growth and development, I have and will continue to create value for the company as I help others develop and pursue their full potential.

Utah Rising: A Free Enterprise Vision for Utah’s Economy
Nearly 20 years after launching the Downtown Rising initiative in the heart of Salt Lake City, Utah’s business community has come together again to create a statewide economic vision. This vision – Utah Rising: A Free Enterprise Vision for Utah’s Economy – will be driven by proven principles while outlining opportunities for ongoing success and sustainable growth. Convened by the Salt Lake Chamber, in collaboration with the public and private sectors, Utah Rising will address critical issues with innovative and long-term economic solutions for all who call Utah home.
The initiative began in Summer 2023 when the Board and past chairs weighed in on the visioning project’s potential, followed by the Chamber conducting focus groups over the course of several months to gather insights on our community and culminated with a media roundtable on April 9, 2024.
At a media event, business leaders highlighted Utah’s economic history and the power of strategic business investments and collaboration – including the Salt Lake City International Airport, Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, Downtown Rising, the Utah Jazz and infrastructure improvements – to demonstrate that initiatives, driven by a blend of visionary foresight and practical execution, lead to sustainable development and economic growth.
The journey ahead is both exciting and essential. As business and civic leaders, we have a unique opportunity to shape Utah’s future — one that is prosperous, inclusive and reflective of the culture and values that have always elevated our state.
Utah’s vibrancy as a state is a direct result of our business and civic leaders choosing to engage, commit time and resources to building a better community and economy. I’m thrilled to be helping forge a new era of economic common ground.
