Salt Lake City is where the Transcontinental Railroad first came together in 1869. Today, it retains its dynamism as one of the fastest-growing major metropolitan areas in the U.S. It has one of the youngest populations, enjoys a diverse economy and is only minutes from some of the finest outdoor recreation–and not just snow skiing–in the country. A banking and high-tech hub, the city is home to huge campuses belonging to companies such as Unisys, Siebel, 3M and L-3.

More aviation-related companies also are building here; Williams International has a large jet engine plant to the north in Ogden and Spectrum Aeronautical will build its new business jets to the south in Spanish Fork.
