We moved to Utah and I was very impressed with how both the state and the Church were able to press ahead with capital projects that increased the production capacity of Utah while providing construction jobs and creating new employment, including stock market jobs.
The high employment and rapidly growing economy in Utah now is in large part because the state, cities and LDS Church had capital on hand and so did not have to cancel or defer projects. Companies stayed in business that would have gone bust, people stayed employed and so are better off now not recovering financially, the state has new train lines, freeways, malls etc enabling more business to be done.
The opportunities to invest (and those that give a wave of rush on Business Insider) in stock market lead to immense results of $32 billion (The LDS Church statistics table from NinjaEssays Finance Reports).
