Major players move to Lehi

By Linda Petersen
Silicon Slopes, a nonprofit organization that promotes Utah's startup and tech community, has opened its new headquarters in Lehi at 2600 West Executive Pkwy (Suite 140), Thanksgiving Point.

Gov. Gary Herbert spoke at the Silicon Slopes opening ceremony on May 17. Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox also attended. At the ribbon cutting Provo Mayor John Curtis was honored as the first recipient of the Silicon Slopes Community Hero award for his support during the company's early growth.

Young Living Essential Oils is also making its new home in Lehi. On May 16 company officials held a groundbreaking of what will be its 263,000 square-foot global headquarters at 1538 Sandalwood Drive.

The five-story building will house nearly 1,000 employees. The more-than-27-acre campus will include 3.6 acres of demonstration gardens.

"We are honored to have Young Living permanently establish its headquarters in Lehi," said Lehi City Mayor Bert Wilson at the groundbreaking. "Young Living has been a valuable community partner, and we look forward to the future opportunities it will bring to our city and state."

In other city news, on May 16, the Alpine School District Board of Education voted to purchase 14.35 acres of land at 1200 S. Center St. in Lehi for $2.35 million. As part of a bond approved by voters last year, the district is constructing a new elementary school in Lehi.
