When businesses commit to making thoughtful, visionary decisions, the impact is felt far beyond financial statements. Here in Utah, we’ve seen how the business community’s leadership drives not only economic growth but also enhances quality of life. Our state’s success is built on businesses that understand their responsibility to the communities they serve, contributing to Utah’s beauty, prosperity and future.
A powerful example of this collective leadership is Utah Rising, the business community’s unified vision for tackling our state’s challenges and opportunities. By investing in this visionary approach, the state’s business community is ensuring Utah remains the best place to call home.
There are many effective business leaders, projects and organizations making Utah great. However, allow me to shine a spotlight on one business, The Larry H. Miller Company (LHM).
For decades, LHM has played a pivotal role in Utah’s prosperity, investing in both the state’s economic growth and our communities’ vibrancy. We can’t imagine life in Utah without LHM. Like many businesses in this state, LHM’s focus is beyond profit; its sights are on people and improving lives. LHM’s mission statement exemplifies why this company has and will continue to have a lasting impact on Utah:
“To enrich lives. We achieve true success when we positively impact the lives of our employees and partners, customers and guests, vendors and suppliers, and those in the communities around us. As we prosper in business, we have the opportunity and obligation to enrich lives and make the world a better place.”
This year, LHM celebrates a series of remarkable milestones — each one a testament to its long-standing commitment to Utah and creating the places where life takes place.
- 45 years of LHM: A symbol of longevity and dedication, marking decades of business leadership and community engagement.
- 30 years of Prestige Financial: A leading provider of innovative financing solutions for people across the United States.
- 30 years of the Salt Lake Bees at Smith’s Ballpark: A beloved institution that has brought generations of families together to enjoy America’s pastime.
- 25 years of LHM Megaplex Theatres: Providing unforgettable entertainment experiences to millions of Utahns.

- 20 years of Daybreak in South Jordan: A visionary development that redefines what it means to live in a master-planned community, blending sustainability with a high quality of life — and the future home of our beloved Salt Lake Bees.
Each of these milestones represents more than just years of operation. They signify a continued investment in the people, the economy and the fabric of our state. The Larry H. Miller Company has consistently demonstrated what it means to be a visionary business — one that is deeply committed to shaping a brighter future for everyone.
As we look to the future, we can take great pride. Utah’s business leadership ensures that the Utah we love will continue to thrive for generations to come.
