Weber State University economist Gavin Roberts said that tariffs will worsen the impact of ongoing federal job cuts and may lead to higher prices for consumers in Ogden—businesses and residents face uncertainty as policies shift and planning becomes difficult.
On April 10, local nonprofits in Ogden received $203,000 at Wasatch Peaks Credit Union as the Wasatch Peaks Foundation partnered with the Federal Home Loan Bank Des Moines to fund programs that boost student support and fight food insecurity.
The grants will support teen resource centers, educational programs, and food assistance projects among recipients such as the George S Eccles Dinosaur Park and the Ogden Schools Foundation—helping them address community needs.
A service-wide announcement on Monday by Acting Secretary Gary Ashworth canceled the policy that let military members take family days without using leave, affecting planned pass days at Hill Air Force Base.
Hill officials have not yet been told if any family days will still be granted — service members are urged to use their 30 days of paid leave.
Gastroenterologist brothers at Intermountain McKay-Dee Hospital and Intermountain Layton Hospital work together to screen for colon cancer by performing colonoscopies on each other because of their family history.
