Building Utah’s Future from the Ground Up
Utah is growing faster than ever. Every home, school, road, and water system depends on a reliable supply of rock, sand, and gravel. But along the Wasatch Front, local quarries are running out, pushing supplies farther away and driving up costs. Without smart planning today, the price of growth will skyrocket tomorrow.
Why It Matters:
Hauling costs double after 30–45 miles.
$4,000 added to the cost of a single new home.
$1 million added per mile of highway.
Over 2 billion tons of aggregate needed by 2060.
