SALT LAKE CITY, UT — Once dubbed as the “land that nobody wanted,” Salt Lake City continues to play host to vacationers, resort dwellers, and planners of the upcoming 2002 Winter Olympics. The area’s moderate growth manages to keep many hvac contractors busy, albeit with a thin labor pool.
Despite a downturn in population growth between 1980 and 1990, Salt Lake City has managed to rebound and the U.S. Bureau of Census projected an approximate 12% increase in the area’s population by the end of 2000. The major freeways in and out of the downtown area are being enlarged, and the downtown area has come alive with the recent construction of the Delta Center, home to the NBA’s Utah Jazz.
