    W E L C O M E T O U T A H U T A H Utah's iconic national parks, world- renowned skiing, strong growth patterns, economic opportunities and quality of education are just a few of the reasons many are making the move to the Beehive State. As one of the nation's fastest growing areas, Salt Lake City and surrounding communities continue to grow and diversify, making it a great place for singles, professionals, families and retirees to call home. ECONOMICOUTLOOK For the past 12 years, an index of economic competitiveness titled “Rich States, Poor States,” published by the American Legislative Exchange Council has ranked Utah the top performer every year. ECONOMIC COMPETITIVENESS INDEX Wages are rising briskly, job growth has ranked second in the nation for the last 10 years and the state’s population growth ranks in the top three. Because Utah's economy is the fastest growing in the nation - upward mobility, better pay and more opportunity is available. ECONOMICDASHBOARD Utah's location, cost of doing business, leadership, and an educated workforce, all play a part in why Utah is one of the best states in the USA for business.

    Case Study Introduction Snowbasin Facility of Sinclair Oil Corp. was interested Snowbasin SmartGen in testing an independent uninterruptible power supply that would continuously deliver facility Remote Power grid electricity and provide an emergency power utilizing its natural gas infrastructure. The system would need to fit in a small space in close proximity to the facility and require limited to no maintenance. Qnergy Solution Due to power outages at the site, SnowBasin was interested in testing a Qnergy SmartGen system as a source of alternative power at their centrally located Earl's Lodge. A 6 kW Remote Power system with additional Power Interface Package, battery enclosure (3000 AH) and inverter was delivered and installed at the Snowbasin resort facility through a 48Vdc architecture. The facility was upgraded to convert natural gas into electricty as a supply to the facility grid. Additional 120Vac 45A electrical outlets were installed for independent emergency electrical supply in case of grid failure. Results Qnergy's SmartGen Remote Power system with additional accessories has been operating since October 2016, with a daily NET power production of greater than 130 kW-hr. The system has operated with 99% operational availablity where temparatures have ranged from 23oC to -22oC and over 421 inches of total snowfall has occurred over the last 6 months (121 inches base snowpack).

  • A History of Beaver County, Utah Centennial County History Series
    A HISTORY OF 'Beaver County Martha Sonntag Bradley UTAH CENTENNIAL COUNTY HISTORY SERIES A HISTORY OF 'Beaver County Martha Sonntag Bradley The settlement of Beaver County began in February 1856 when fifteen families from Parowan moved by wagon thirty miles north to Beaver Valley. The county was created by the Utah legislature on 31 January 1856, a week before the Parowan group set out to make their new home. However, centuries before, prehistoric peoples lived in the area, obtaining obsidian for arrow and spear points from the Mineral Mountains. Later, the area became home to Paiute Indians. Franciscan Friars Dominguez and Escalante passed through the area in October 1776. The Mormon settlement of Beaver devel­ oped at the foot of the Tushar Mountains. In 1859 the community of Minersville was es­ tablished, and residents farmed, raised live­ stock, and mined the lead deposits there. In the last quarter of the nineteenth century the Mineral Mountains and other locations in the county saw extensive mining develop­ ment, particularly in the towns of Frisco and Newhouse. Mining activities were given a boost with the completion of the Utah South­ ern Railroad to Milford in 1880. The birth­ place of both famous western outlaw Butch Cassidy and inventor of television Philo T. Farnsworth, Beaver County is rich in history, historic buildings, and mineral treasures.
