General Information about Eagle Mountain, Utah
Eagle Mountain is one of Utah's newest towns. It is
one of the very few towns since Pioneer times that was planned before it was incorporated. When fully developed, Eagle Mountain will be a
pedestrian-friendly community that will make it possible for many residents to access shops and services within walking
distance from their homes.
This new-age community may be the first in Utah designed with a recognition of the
profound changes taking place in the work environment due to telecommunications. Wide band communication
links (fiber optics) are available to every address. Eagle Mountain offers an abundance of business sites, including
industrial property and reasonably-priced business campus environments. A new airport with taxiway access for
corporate operations is in the development stages.
Since its incorporation at the end of 1996, Eagle Mountain has grown from 490 residents to 2,157. With a median age of 21.1, Eagle Mountain residents are some of the
youngest in the county.
