The Utah Valley is home to a diverse business community. Although there are many big name businesses, there are a huge number of entrepreneurs and small businesses. One of the most popular cities in Utah County is Provo, home of the Cougars.
Many graduates find the enterprising atmosphere very agreeable and choose to stay in ever increasing numbers. Due to a large religious population, Utah County has a very low crime rate and consistently ranks one of the safest places to live within the U.S. With the beautiful mountains so near each city, you have multiple places to hike, ski, picnic, and more. The county is mainly a family friendly county so there are many museums, plays, and concerts, especially in the Lehi and Thanksgiving Point area.
Includes Cities/Towns: Alpine, American Fork, Cedar Valley, Eagle Mountain, Elberta, Goshen, Lehi, Lindon, Mapleton, Orem, Payson, Pleasant Grove, Provo, Salem, Santaquin, Saratoga Springs, Spanish Fork, Springville.
