Utah Inland Port Authority outlines logistics, infrastructure support for Payson businesses
Summary
Officials from the Utah Inland Port Authority told Payson’s Economic Development Board the authority can help local companies access shipping opportunities and use tax-increment funds for infrastructure to attract businesses.
Representatives from the Utah Inland Port Authority briefed the Payson City Economic Development Board on May 14 about services the authority provides to local businesses. Scott Wolford said the authority aims to help local firms connect to shipping and receiving logistics and can make funding available through tax-increment mechanisms to support infrastructure projects.
"The goal of the Inland Port Authority is to align businesses with more logistical opportunities to ship and receive," Scott Wolford said. Board members discussed how those resources could be used to recruit companies to Payson and expand local commercial activity. Economic Development Director Brian Hulet said the Port's assistance could help the city attract more businesses.
The presentation did not include commitments of specific projects or dollar amounts; officials described the authority's general tools for supporting infrastructure and business recruitment. Board members asked follow-up questions about how tax-increment money might be deployed and about next steps for identifying candidate projects.
