Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox announces the expansion of the Utah Aerospace Pathways (UAP) program as he speaks during the Aerospace Day on the Hill, which brought in an industry event featuring hands-on exhibits and demonstrations from more than 20 aerospace companies, industry associations and educational institutions at the Utah Capitol on Wed. Feb. 15, 2017.

For Cox, the issue is personal. Cox is from Fairview, Utah, in Sanpete County, and he’s tired of seeing the county’s kids leaving home to find work.
