Economic Development

Vision Statement

Washington City's economic development department will invest in quality of life.

Mission Statement

By building upon the foundation of our pioneering spirit, we aim to increase the number of well-paying jobs, increase sales tax base to support public services, improve the property tax base to support regional public services, and improve the appeal of our city's current and future economic centers.

Commercial Development in Washington City:

Washington City is located in the southwest corner of the state and at the center of one of the most rapidly growing areas in Utah. Washington City uses a collaborative approach to identify and prioritize economic development projects that are supported by market forces and provide benefits to residents. You will find our city a wonderful place to live, work, and play.
