“A plan to reinvigorate the Jordan River is gaining momentum.

A coalition of river advocates called the Blueprint Jordan River Implementation Committee has put together an intergovernmental agreement that would bring together 15 cities and three counties to revive the Jordan. Those 15 local governments should climb aboard and help get the river project under way by signing the pact and contributing funding for a Jordan River Commission. The commission, made up of elected officials and community groups, would coordinate and oversee planning, although it would be up to the cities and counties to adopt and implement the commission's recommendations."

"The Mountain West’s recovery from the Great Recession is spreading. Output is growing in every metropolitan area. Still, hiring remains elusive—a fact frustrating the entire nation, but perhaps more so in a region used to snapping, even roaring, back from recessions faster than the rest of the nation."
