City of Orem Economic Development
Ever since the City of Orem traded in its farms and orchards for the likes of WordPerfect and Novell, publications around the country have taken notice of Orem's pro-business environment. Most recently, the Milken Institute named the Orem-Provo MSA as the No. 2 Best Performing Cities, a recognition that has become commonplace in such rankings. Orem's proximity to more than 60,000 students from Brigham Young University and Utah Valley University ensures that the city's workforce needs will be well-cared for as the economy continues to grow.
