Cool Things Happening In Ogden
Who would have thought that Ogden would become such a cool place? Until recently, I never thought much of Ogden. I never thought of it as a hub for so much business activity. Here’s some great news that I’m sure Ogden is proud to report:
-Grow Utah Ventures e-Station located in downtown Ogden has been the entrepreneurial highlight of the last year. Alan Hall renovated the old greyhound bus station to accommodate high tech start ups in the Ogden area. The project has been a resounding success. Grow Utah Ventures just launched another e-Station in Kaysville, which is sure to see the same success as the Ogden facility. Grow Utah Ventures represents Ogden’s best opportunity for moving high tech focus out of Utah Valley to Ogden.
-Adam aircraft recently announced the construction of a 96,000 square foot manufacturing facility located at the Ogden airport. Adam aircraft is designing the next generation of light aircraft that will revolutionize the small aircraft industry. Their planes cost and operate at about 25% of what the nearest competitor’s airplane can do. Some even think their planes will revolutionize the way you and I fly from city to city. You’ll be hearing a lot about this company in the coming years.
-Amer Sports recently anounced the consolidation of their Solomon, Atomic and Suunto brands into one division that will be headquartered in Ogden. Decente and Scott USA already call Ogden home. The new Amer Winter Sports Division will bring 230 new jobs to Ogden that will pay an average of 316% above the medium Weber County salary. That’s fantastic! Congratulations to Mayor Matt Godfrey who is seeing his goal of making Ogden the winter sports industry hub become a reality. Utah in general is also seeing a lot of success in the outdoors industry. In addition to what’s happening in Ogden, Black Diamond calls Salt Lake home and Rossignol recently moved operations to Park City. Backcountry.com is now the largest online retailer of outdoors products. They got their start in humble Heber but are now headquartered in Park City.
Congratulations to everybody in Ogden! I look forward to continuing to watch your success!

It’s time to buy Ogden real estate. It’s much lower than other parts of the state.
