I think the question is more, "why not set up in the northern part of Salt Lake valley to be able to pull in people from Davis/Weber county?"

There is certainly plenty of people that live up there, seemingly just as many as live in Utah County. Is it that there is a dearth of them that have the skills tech companies are looking for? Are there governmental/policy reasons keeping companies away? Is it because BYU is in Utah County and WSU/USU are that much worse at providing potential hires than BYU/UVU are?

I don't know the reason but it does seem weird to me that there is so much push into Utah County and seemingly nothing to the north.
