As West Jordan continues to evolve, our municipal focus remains firmly on a single overarching goal: building a resilient, self-sustaining local economy that enhances our quality of life while protecting our community’s character. Economic development isn’t just about bringing new buildings to town—it is about strategic planning, responsible resource management, and creating a balanced tax base that keeps residential property taxes lower while providing top-tier municipal services.
Recent additions to our business community includes: Trader Joe’s, R&R Barbeque (coming in December), Jordan Ranch Veterinary Hospital, SkyShare, Certified Disaster Service, World Market, and recent company expansion including Trim Light.
The city council is also working to determine options for the SouthWest Quadrant (SWQ) of the city for primarily non-residential uses. The city is seeing some significant development interest across key economic corridors including Mountain View Corridor, and U-111. By taking a holistic approach to master planning, we are coordinating commercial uses, high-value manufacturing, and housing types so that job growth and housing options expand together harmoniously. A strong local economy requires attracting businesses that generate high-wage jobs and substantial capital investment without placing an unsustainable burden on city services or natural resources.
