Press Release

Utah Inland Port Authority (UIPA), a political subdivision of the state of Utah, and a public corporation, recently announced an exclusive three-year deal with technology marketplace and online platform Warehouse Exchange to fill under-utilized warehouse space across the state.

“Logistics is all about moving and storing goods, and Utah is at the epicenter of that activity in the Intermountain West. This program allows us to use the infrastructure already in place in the most efficient way possible and provide immediate solutions for the industry,” said Jack Hedge, Executive Director of Utah Inland Port Authority. “Looking at the needs of Utah’s statewide logistics network and making connections is a primary role of UIPA. We’re excited to serve that role in bringing people together with this partnership with Warehouse Exchange.”
