Utah Welcoming 1,200 New Jobs Thanks to Three Expanding Companies
10/17/2011
Science Applications International Corporation plans on expanding its Utah operations by adding 200 jobs and doubling its current workforce. The technology-focused firm does work in the national security, cybersecurity, energy, health and environment sectors, among others. The GOED board approved a $2.2 million, 10-year post-performance, refundable tax credit for this expansion.
GOED also approved a $3.2 million, post-performance refundable tax credit for Clearfield-based Lifetime Products. The business expects to expand its Utah plastics manufacturing facility with a $41 million capital investment and add 282 workers over the next decade. It presently employs 1,700 associates in the state.
Finally, GOED approved a $521,867 incentive which will give a 10-year post-performance refundable tax credit to Home Depot for establishing a national customer service operation in Ogden. The home improvement retailer anticipates adding 691 jobs; most of its new employees should be on board by late next year.
GOED Executive Director Spencer Eccles said these companies represent a broad, diversified group of organizations that "[speak] to the economic vitality of Utah." The announcements "move us further down the path of accomplishing our goal of creating 100,000 jobs in 1,000 days."
