Partnering with local, state agencies works well for Utah Business

TAYLORSVILLE – City of Taylorsville’s economic development office announced Jeffery Nelson, CEO of Nelson Laboratories, will be the keynote speaker at the Economic Development Corporation of Utah (EDCUtah) Quarterly Investor Update Meeting on Thursday. Nelson will speak on the benefits of working with the City of Taylorsville, EDCUtah and the Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development to strengthen overall business in the medical and high tech industry sectors.

Nelson will speak at the Davis Conference Center, located at 1651 North 700 West in Layton, from 4 p.m.-6 p.m. Thursday.

“We’ve been in Taylorsville for a long time,” said Nelson. “The city makes our business accessible for our clients, professional staff and employees, suppliers and the markets we serve. But more importantly, it is a location that is pro-business. It is a great place for us to conduct business as we grow and expand.”

Nelson believes the partnership they experienced between City of Taylorsville, EDCUtah and the Governor's Office of Economic Development during the company’s recent expansion in the state is an excellent example of something that works well in Utah.

“We couldn’t have done it alone,” said Nelson. “We needed the help of our state and local governments and agencies to make this a great experience during our expansion. They were all great partners.”

Nelson Laboratories, a leading microbiology testing laboratory for medical devices, pharmaceuticals and natural products, recently expanded its facility in Taylorsville, adding a 50,000 sq. ft. addition. The new building brings Nelson Labs to 110,000 sq. ft. with over 85 labs.

Event tickets are $20 for investors and $25 for all others.
