in Utah and Idaho

We painstaking went through as many resources as possible to ensure that the information presented is accurate. Our goal was to include any building, utility, or heavy/highway project currently under construction, or set to break ground by June1, that is at least $10 million. We greatly appreciate those who who took time out of their busy schedules to help us compile this list (more than 100), it's evident that the Intermountain region is on fire in regards to construction activity.
