State of Utah economic and demographic projection: UPED scoping process and workplan

Utah is one of the few states in the entire nation where all of the state agencies and local governments coordinate to use the same source of information for planning purposes. The data that they use is generated from the UPED model system. This consistency allows private and public sector entities to coordinate their forecasting efforts, a task that is nearly impossible when trying to interpret dissimilar data sets, resulting froit different starting points and inconsistent methodologies.
