Utah Inland Port Authority Begins Search for New Executive Director

(Salt Lake City, UT) — Today, the Utah Inland Port Authority is beginning its search for a new executive director. Friday, the authority announced its director for the last three years — Jack Hedge — is stepping down to assume a new post as the organization’s president. Hedge will focus primarily on national and international partnerships. Hedge faced controversy during his three years, a time when the authority fought a lawsuit from Salt Lake City over its tax revenues, and faced protests from residents and environmental groups. The authority also issued a two-million dollar no-bid contract that drew sharp criticism.
