In 2024, the Weber County Commission approved Nordic Valley Ski Resort’s plans for a mixed-use development at the base of the resort. Designed to transform this Utah ski resort into a four-season destination, the Nordic Village Development includes lodging, commercial, and recreational expansions that would reshape the resort and the surrounding Ogden Valley community. The result could mean increases in GDP, jobs, household incomes, and tax receipts.
REPORT HIGHLIGHTS
- The investment in the Nordic Village Development will contribute between $776 and $977 million to the GDP, which translates into between $129 and $162 million annually.
- During the six-year construction phase, the Nordic Village Development will add between 1,096 and 1,327 jobs to the local economy. Once fully operational, the project will add between 29 and 42 full-time equivalent permanent jobs to the local economy.
- The jobs created from this project will add between $71 and $87 million in annual household earnings during the construction phase, and between $1.6 and $1.9 million ongoing.
- The Nordic Village Development will add over $4 million annually in taxes for state and local governments during the six-year construction phase. Upon completion, it will add between $10 and $12 million annually in taxes, mostly from property taxes.
