Mineral Mountains

With three distinct zones the Mineral Mountains Inland Port will provide for a wider pool of resources that exist across Beaver County. The Milford Valley & City Center zones will be central hubs for fueling, logistics, and emerging industry growth.

The Beaver City zone is suited to trucking logistics as its anchor point is nearest Interstate 15 and falls directly between Salt Lake City, Utah and Las Vegas, Nevada. The Minersville zone will provide the link between the Milford Valley, and Beaver Valley and addresses the change and shift into agri-tech models of economic development.

Each zone will work independently as a piece of the larger project area but will be unified by the need for growth and facilitate the expansion of the anticipated economic development.

PROJECT AREA PLAN

Milestones

The following municipalities and counties entered into resolutions supporting the creation of the project area:

Beaver County: April 18, 2023
Milford City: May 16, 2023
Beaver City: August 29, 2023

2024:

The Beaver Zone is the site of Unitech Manfacturing’s newest expansion project, with construction underway for a new 50,000 square-foot building that is bringing 50 new jobs to the community. The majority of those jobs have already been filled, with workers commuting to a temporary facility in nearby Paragonah until the building's completion this fall.
In the Milford Zone, Fervo Energy is ready to begin construction on phase one of their 400-MW Cape Station Project, which will be operational in 2026. This geothermal project is bringing about 200 construction jobs to the area for the next two years and a few dozen ongoing, full-time jobs once regular operation begins.
UIPA set the initial trigger date for 2025 in the Minersville Zone, which includes a 27,000 square-foot building for the conversion of animal waste into pellets used for fertilizer.
