I'm sure a lot of people are going to be upset by this news, but I'm not one of them. It validates my opinion that Utah is a great place to live.

I have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, it's economically great with more opportunities arriving, and on the other, I hate seeing my dark quiet neighborhood turn more and more into a brightly lit loud bustling city neighborhood. It's been good for home values, though.

Utahns like to blame the increase on transplants. But the truth is the majority of Utah's population growth has always been babies.

In my Cedar City neighborhood, it's cash outs from other areas including northern Utah building large custom homes, and the other part of the growth in the city is around the University which has an exponentially expanding number of students. It's a net positive, but it's still much more bustling than it was when I bought my home.

Interesting. I would of thought that distinction would go to Texas or even Colorado.

UT is a state my family is looking at to relocate to (we're very conservative) but we want at least 5 acres of land and really can't find that around the populated areas where the jobs are. At least the Wasatch Front.

I have friends who live in Tooele and yes, this stat doesn't surprise me a bit. One of the cities that is along I-15 I've noticed positive change is Richfield. On the first exit coming up from St. George there has been quite a bit of development with several motels and restaurants. I've stayed the night in Richfield a few times, the main reason being with the storms coming through the area (I live in western Colorado.). Have enjoyed the times I've stayed there overnight and have met some friendly folks.

I did a project at work a few years ago at my previous company and we had vehicles collect road information for UDOT. They road crew said they couldn't believe the amount of road construction, development, and population growth along the I-15 corridor. I hope people like a future mini Los Angeles, good luck with that.

You will never get a mini Los Angeles, but you might get a mini Phoenix ...
