Quality growth efficiency tools: progress report

The Quality Growth Efficiency Tools project team has been meeting since July 1996 to develop a process and set of tools to improve the quality of growth related information to plan for Utah's future. The Project's stated purpose is to improve the technical and analytical models used to forecast growth and to improve the processes and procedures that accompany the management of data and models. Two key components of this project guided the initial efforts of the project team. First, facilitate the sharing of growth related information with local government, business, and industry and improving our knowledge about current land/resource use in the four metropolitan counties of the Wasatch Front. Second, gain a better understanding of existing planning and analysis models used by various state agencies.
