Salem's 2025 surge: a small city in the middle of a capital build-out
From $17M to $68M
| Vendor | Total paid | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Utah Municipal Power Agency | $35.2M | 9.6% |
| Van Con | $16.4M | 4.5% |
| Warner & Associates Construction | $12.6M | 3.5% |
| Stuart C. Irby Co. | $6.6M | 1.8% |
| Anixter Inc. | $5.8M | 1.6% |
The vendor list explains the spike. Behind UMPA (wholesale power, as in most cities here) sit two heavy-construction firms, Van Con and Warner & Associates, plus Stuart C. Irby and Anixter, which both supply electrical infrastructure. Put together, they point to a multi-year capital program: building out utilities and facilities for a growing population, bunched into 2023 through 2025.
A spike, then back to baseline
