Ogden: Aerospace, Defense & Outdoor Recreation

Ogden uniquely combines aerospace and defense—anchored by Hill Air Force Base, Utah's largest employer—with a thriving outdoor recreation industry. Hill AFB manages the F-35, F-22, and other critical defense programs, creating a sophisticated contractor ecosystem. Meanwhile, Ogden's proximity to world-class skiing and outdoor recreation has attracted outdoor product companies. This dual economy creates diverse opportunities for growing businesses.
