Gov. Cox, speaking before the ceremonial signings, stressed that growth is a double-edged sword. It 'presents some wonderful opportunities, and of course some unique challenges.'
SOUTH JORDAN — Herriman has been one of the fastest-growing cities in the country for its size during the last decade, according to city data, making it a fitting location for a ceremonial bill signing Tuesday where Utah Gov. Spencer Cox touted 10 different growth-related laws passed by the Legislature this session.
Cox told reporters that Herriman, and other parts of southwest Salt Lake County, exemplify that sentiment, pointing to the "density that we're seeing in different places." "What we know from the data is that actually leads to better outcomes. When people from different wage classes get to live in the same neighborhoods, it's actually really good for those neighborhoods," Cox said.
For 31 of the past 32 years, the Beehive State has experienced net migration growth, Cox said. In the last decade, that growth propelled Utah to the 30th most populated state in the country, according to U.S. Census data, moving it from the bottom tier to the middle of the pack. In 2022, 62% of the state's growth came from outside of the state, the governor said.
