Military Installation Development Authority (MIDA) is an “authority” created by the Utah Legislature in 2007 to facilitate the development of military land in Utah. It serves a dual role of helping strengthen the military presence in Utah while stimulating the state’s economy.

MIDA was created to act as an independent, nonprofit, separate body corporate and politic, with perpetual succession and statewide jurisdiction, whose purpose is to:

• Facilitate the development of military land in a project area
• Exercise exclusive agency power within a project area including the collection of regulatory fees; receive tax increment and other taxes and fees

MIDA can review and approve new developments much faster than typical municipalities. To learn more about MIDA please visit: midaut.org

Hill Air Force Base (HAFB) is the second largest base by population and geographical size. The Falcon Hill Aerospace Research Park is the largest Air Force Enhanced Use Lease in the nation and is located at HAFB. Falcon Hill shares its profits with HAFB, and the money is reinvested locally at HAFB. HAFB is home to many operational and support missions.

The host organization at Hill Air Force Base is the 75th Air Base Wing. The 75th ABW oversees 1,000,000 acres and more than 1,700 facilities valued at $4 billion while providing installation support for the Ogden Air Logistics Complex, Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center, Air Force active duty 388th and Reserve 419th Fighter Wings.

Hill AFB represents over 50% of Utah’s defense sector and contributes almost $9 billion to State GDP annually and creates an estimated 57,175 jobs. It is the largest single-site employer in the state of Utah and the economic cornerstone of Davis and Weber Counties.
