The MDT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program encourages and supports the participation of companies owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in transportation contracts.

State higher education officials plan to go into land-banking mode over the next few years, acquiring as much as they can get their hands on for nearly every college and university in the state.

"We need to be sure the future of education is served by having the appropriate amount of land available for expansion," said Utah State Board of Regents member Jerry Atkin, who chairs the Finance, Facilities and Accountability Committee.
