Coverage here takes in the legislature and the governor's office, statewide elections, the courts and the technology, tourism and real estate sectors driving Utah's economic growth. Reporting extends through Salt Lake City, West Valley City, Provo and West Jordan and the smaller communities along the Wasatch Front and in the state's rural south. Utah's national parks and monument lands draw visitors in numbers that make tourism a significant economic and land-use subject, and federal decisions about those lands carry immediate consequences for gateway communities. Population growth concentrated along the Wasatch Front is producing some of the fastest-rising housing costs in the country, and that pressure now runs beneath most of the state's infrastructure and planning debates.
