We are thrilled to report on eBay's decision to expand its existing operations in Draper by building a $110 million state-of-the-art facility there. The company will add up to 2,200 employees and pay 125% of the average wage in Salt Lake County.
This is a fantastic development and certainly emphasizes eBay's confidence in Utah's economic future. eBay is a world-class company, an excellent corporate citizen, and will add significantly to Utah's strong technology sector.
eBay currently employs approximately 1,400 people in Utah with its customer service center and data center, in Draper and South Jordan respectively. This project was assisted by the Governor's Office of Economic Development (GOED), Salt Lake County, Draper City, and Rocky Mountain Power.
EDCUtah's annual meeting is coming up October 12. We hope you are planning now to attend. You can secure your company's sponsorship by calling Art Franks, (801) 323-4242. This is sure to be an exciting and informative event. You'll not only learn about our economic development activities from the past fiscal year, but will also hear a keynote address by Wayne Rogers, author of "Make Your Own Rules." He's also an acclaimed actor, television personality and economic adviser. I hope to see you there!
