Lunch with the governor…
Utah Gov. Gary Herbert was in Moab Tuesday, Sept. 29, to discuss the state of Utah’s economy with area business leaders during a luncheon at Moab Valley Inn. About 140 people, including elected officials from southeastern Utah communities attended the event. Herbert told business leaders that his new economic development team will be “very proactive” in working to build the state’s economy while also striving to keep government interference with business at a minimum. Herbert also briefly discussed new filming opportunities that will be occurring in the region, and noted that tourism throughout the state has remained strong even during the nation’s tough economic times. The luncheon was co-sponsored by the Moab Area Chamber of Commerce, Zions Bank, Wells Fargo Bank, Frontier, and KCYN Radio. Photo by Cathryn Wilson
