Pony Express

Welcome to the Pony Express Project Area—1,700+ acres of rural potential spanning Fairfield and Cedar Fort, Utah. This UIPA-led initiative spotlights infrastructure investment, high-wage job growth, and smart, community-aligned economic development vowing to preserve the region’s storied heritage and scenic charm.

Rooted in a shared legacy stretching from Camp Floyd to today’s agriculture and rural traditions, this project area marks a new chapter: one that blends modernization—broadband, roads, utilities, logistics—with environmental stewardship and historical preservation.

In close partnership with local leaders, the Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity, and other state allies, UIPA is cultivating a hub for light manufacturing, ag‑tech, and renewable energy that respects small‑town character and elevates opportunities for decades ahead.
