There is much to gain by strengthening the ties among our community, businesses, and university. Research proves that university towns experience greater economic stability, increased job and educational opportunities, lower costs of living, beautified surroundings, superior facilities, and better access to athletic events, concerts, performances, and speakers.
Utah Tech University and the City of St. George are working hand in hand to increase opportunities and expand the benefits of living in a university town. One such collaboration is the “Utah Tech University Trailblazers Art in the City” project, which places hand-painted Trailblazer statues around the city and at local businesses. The project helps promote Utah Tech University, local businesses, and the arts, while beautifying our city and creating a greater university town environment.
