“We are excited to see great corporate partners like Strider growing in the City of South Jordan,” said Brian Preece, City of South Jordan director of city commerce. “South Jordan is an exciting place to live and work, and we are pleased to be home to innovative companies like Strider.” 

After meeting with Strider and learning more about their expansion needs, EDCUtah connected the company to the City of South Jordan for local community engagement and the Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity (GOEO) for business incentives. 

“Utah continues to strengthen its position as a leading business destination for cybersecurity and defense technology companies,” said Scott Cuthbertson, president of EDCUtah. “Utah’s skilled workforce and business-friendly environment are important factors in the success of innovative companies like Strider, and we’re pleased to see Strider’s growth in the City of South Jordan.”
