Eagle Mountain launches bid to woo business

(Daily Herald) On Tuesday, Eagle Mountain got serious about wooing business.

In an hour-long presentation to about 200 residents, the city unveiled its $250,000 marketing campaign, complete with billboards, television commercials and hoopla. "Find yourself in Eagle Mountain" is the theme of the campaign. Amid cupcakes, T-shirts and banners of the city's new logo, officials promised customized incentive packages for businesses, and even financing.

"We can help you finance your plans if that is what you want to do," said city manager John Hendrickson in a promotional spot aimed at national corporations. No specifics were given about how the city would do this.

"Come and sit down with me so we can work out the perfect plan to find your business in Eagle Mountain," Mayor Heather Jackson said in the closing segment of the same promotional video, which will be sent to more than 250 companies the city hopes to win over. With hundreds of acres of industrial and business park space available, Eagle Mountain is looking for companies to bring in jobs and amenities.
