WASHINGTON, DC–Senator Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, the senior Republican in the United States Senate, issued the following statement following the announcement of the University of Utah’s new contract with the Manufacturing Extension Partnership:
“After years of concerted effort working alongside the Governor’s Office of Economic Development and the University of Utah, I’m thrilled with today’s announcement. Utah’s MEP program will help grow Utah businesses by expanding customer bases, developing new markets, and creating new products while also helping our nation maintain a competitive edge in the global marketplace. This federal investment is a prime example of how local solutions are the principal drivers of economic development.”
