Gov. Herbert Declares This Week Utah Energy Development Week
SALT LAKE CITY – May 18, 2015 (Gephardt Daily) – Gov. Gary R. Herbert has declared May 17-23, 2015 Utah Energy Development Week to recognize the state’s energy development and critical energy resources.
“Energy is among the top issues of our time,” said Gov. Herbert. “We need diverse, affordable and reliable energy resources that continue to expand with Utah’s growing population and economy. This week provides an opportunity to recognize people and businesses that advance our energy development and to engage with them in important energy resource discussions.”
Utah is privileged to host both the annual meeting of the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission and the fourth annual Governor’s Utah Energy Development Summit this week. The commission and summit position Utah at the heart of the national energy policy discussion and advance the dialogue on critical issues facing the nation.
The energy industry in Utah alone creates $21 billion in economic activity, representing a significant, and by its very nature, foundational piece of Utah’s broader economy.
