MIDVALE, Utah – Zions Bancorporation opened a new generation center in Midvale on Wednesday along with political and generation leaders. The 400,000-square-foot campus is expected to open by mid-2022. The campus construction is expected to create more than 1,500 jobs in the area, and once the center opens, about 2,000 more people will paint there, according to the press conference.
“My aspiration for this new campus is to be a position where ideas develop and innovation flourish,” said Harris Simmons, president and CEO of Zions Bancorporation.
Silicone Slopes is no longer alone in Lehi, said Clint Betts, president and CEO of Silicon Slopes, but throughout the state of Utah.
“I feel it’s the beginning of the silicone earrings to the north,” he said.
The center is being built on what was once Sharon’s metal plant, an EPA Superfund site that took years to clean up. Find out more here.
It took me a while to get here.
“The EPA is the jewel in the reuse of their lands,” he said. The mayor of midvale city, Robert Hale, said.
The new center brings more progression and economic expansion to the city of Midvale, Mayor Hale said.
“This vacant position. I literally don’t need to say anything,” he says, approving the new center.
Technology leaders have talked a lot about long-term generations in the generation industry and the desire for greater diversity.
Zions Bancorporation submitted a $100,000 donation to the Pastor France A. Davis Scholarship Foundation to color scholars seeking degrees in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM).
“We believe that education will be the key to making any kind of positive replacement we do,” said Pastor France A. Davis, a retired pastor at Calvary Baptist Church.
The campus will be built with an emphasis on sustainability, there will also be a park and a motorcycle trail to advertise the outdoors.
