I've seen local tech jobs and wages grow a lot in recent years especially with the latest on Tech Ridge which I understand is going to have a large impact on higher paying jobs local to St George overall bringing in companies to HQ here.The prices here are too high for me to pursue being new to investing, but with the continued explosive growth such as Tech Ridge, Black Desert Resort nearing completing for the upcoming PGA tour, and so on it seems like a hot market that would pay off for investors with that kind of capital.
