After a briefing about the work and goals of the Utah Inland Port Authority, members of the Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) board came away impressed but also concerned that the authority’s messages are hitting a wall.
The board’s November meeting featured a long discussion about the port. Jack Hedge, the authority’s executive director, spelled out its importance and needs, but at the end, a couple of board members suggested better public relations or communications would improve the public’s understanding of the importance of developing the logistics network.
