BRIGHAM CITY
• Do we REALLY want this???
• Reassurance from trusted partners (GOED, EDCU)
was helpful to re-engage, even while they
maintained confidentiality
• Scope of project was cut approximately in half
• Visit with P&G (“Gold Rush”) representatives was
very positive, helpful, even though we didn’t know
who they were
• City’s initial role was in support of Box Elder County
• Transitioned to infrastructure provision later in the
process
BRIGHAM CITY
• Availability of infrastructure was a key consideration
• Water – build out and source analysis gave Brigham City the
confidence that “Gold Rush” could be served and still meet
needs in future growth areas within the City’s annexation
boundary
• Sewer – planned as a regional facility
SUGGESTIONS FOR BUSINESS
RECRUITMENT
• Avoid knee-jerk reactions (“This must be a big
polluter!”)
• Networks are critically important
• Utah excels at cooperation – COOPERATE!
•
•
•
•
GOED
EDCU
Local EDP’s
Private sector
• Cities and Counties need to be able to cooperate!
• Trust is a key factor
• One-on-one interaction (face-to-face, not just
electronic) critical to building trust and relationships
SUGGESTIONS FOR BUSINESS
RECRUITMENT
• A can-do attitude can overcome weaknesses or
lack of polish
• Neither side should anticipate 100% smooth sailing,
but both sides should commit to working through
differences
• Take a field trip to a similar facility, particularly if it is
operated by the same company (visit to Cape
Girardeau plant helped answer lingering questions)
• Be prepared to respond to rumors – the “Toyota”
thing
• Understand the proper use of consultants and
experts, and don’t be afraid to use them
SUGGESTIONS FOR BUSINESS
RECRUITMENT
• Invest in infrastructure – past decisions by elected
officials placed Brigham City in a position to meet
Procter and Gamble’s water and sewer needs
• Understand, honor, and respect confidentiality
requests
• “Hi, I’m Paul Larsen, Brigham City Economic Development Director. Here’s
my card, email address, phone number, etc. My wife’s name is Shirlene. I
have four kids. I went to USU (go Aggies).”
• “Hi, I’m Joe – JUST Joe”
• Believe in yourself, or no one else will!
• We think we have the best place in the world to do business
• County Commissioners need to be able to do
cartwheels
