This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Utah’s growth relies on a strong construction industry to support its expanding communities. For over a century, Jacobsen Construction has played a key role in building that foundation and shaping the state’s future. Chief Operating Officer, Matt Radke, joins us with more.

Matt Radke: 
U.S. News and World Report has ranked Utah the number one state in America for two consecutive years, sparking new opportunities across the state. 
Jacobsen Construction is proud to contribute to this growth with several transformative projects shaping Utah's future.

First, the University of Utah Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine will revolutionize medical education, preparing future doctors for innovation. Then at Deer Valley, with the newly completed Grand Hyatt as part of the Mayflower resort — America’s most ambitious new ski campus in 50 years.

Meanwhile, in Logan, Utah State University is expanding its business school with the Carolyn & Kem Gardner Learning & Leadership Building, fostering strong partnerships between students and Utah businesses. And then in Taylorsville, Primary Children’s Hospital is building a state-of-the-art Behavioral Health Center to provide essential mental health services to young patients.

Jacobsen Construction’s involvement in these projects demonstrates that Utah’s success is just beginning, with even more growth opportunities on the horizon.
