West Nile prevention in urban Utah counties hinges on eliminating mosquito breeding sites from storm drains. But cataloging tens of thousands of drainage structures across sprawling municipalities has long been an overwhelming logistical challenge.

Here's where AI comes in and makes the fight against West Nile...a little easier.

The set of the television series The Chosen has become a focal point in Utah County, with a biblical village in Goshen built by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and production crews turning the landscape into a stand-in for biblical-era scenes.

Through seven seasons, this production will have spent over $28M and made Utah the series’ second home, underscoring the state’s growing role in the show’s development and production.

The show has a pronounced economic impact by employing a sizable local and traveling workforce. On some days, hundreds of volunteer actors/extras come from all over the country, to be a part of the show. These extras as well as cast and crew spend money in Utah County when they stay in area hotels and eat at local restaurants.

We're sad to see you go. Come back anytime.

If you walk into the Utah County Jail kitchen, you'll find something most people don't expect: HOPE. The jail feeds its inmates, its staff and its work teams, but it's more than just a place to cook meals. It's become a launchpad for inmates looking to turn their lives around.

Last year, jail officials launched a food handler's permit program. The idea was simple but powerful: teach inmates real skills they can use when they get out. In the past two months alone, eight inmates have earned their food handler's permit...four last month, four the month before.

"Our jail kitchen and staff, led by Lieutenant Nelson and Administrator Nielson, are top tier and our Food Handlers Permit Program is just one of the many positive initiatives taking place,” said County Commissioner Skyler Beltran. “Since launching the program last year, we have provided inmates with the opportunity to gain valuable skills and earn an industry recognized certification. This not only supports their personal growth while incarcerated but also helps prepare them for successful employment and reintegration when they return to the community."
