Salt Lake among Newsweek's 'Top 10 Places in America Poised for Recovery'

In an article appearing in its current issue, Salt Lake City is among Newsweek's "Top 10 Places in America Poised for Recovery." According to Newsweek, the Wasatch Front has been bolstered by big names like Adobe, Electronic Arts, and Twitter setting up shop in Utah. In addition, the area's short commutes, decent public schools, excellent recreation opportunities and affordable housing are also seen as major advantages over other areas. Approximately three-quarters of Salt Lake area households can afford a median-priced house, compared to 45 percent in Silicon Valley and about half that in New York City and San Francisco.
