Springville City Council has approved a significant development project that will enhance local business operations and boost sales tax revenue. During the meeting on April 9, 2025, the council discussed the establishment of a new corporate headquarters for Sunpro Corporation, which will include a state-of-the-art facility and a rail spur for efficient logistics.
The new headquarters will be located on a 50-acre parcel, with Sunpro planning to utilize 28 acres for its operations. The facility will not only serve as an office but will also house a truss manufacturing plant, which will remain at its current location. This strategic move aims to improve logistics by reducing the distance for hauling lumber, which has been a challenge for the company due to its current operations in Salt Lake City.
