Jim Grover

I grew up in Salt Lake City in a family that ran a small manufacturing business out of their home which expanded to a warehouse on the south side of Rose Park.  Growing up I was taught the value of hard work to creatively and efficiently solve problems.

I believe in self-reliance and education through life-long learning. I have attained a Bachelors of Science in Business and Masters of Business Administration from the University of Utah. I hold a certification as a Certified Government Accountant (CGFM) and I'm a candidate for the Certified Public Accountant (CPA)

I have experience in small business and state government. I've been appointed to various capacities in Utah state government during three administrations for 14 years advancing economic development and higher education.

I have volunteered four years to running a community young men sports program and am a past president of the Northern Utah Chapter of the Association of Government Accountants.  

Communities stay strong and grow stronger when members of the community come together and share what matters most. Three years ago I was a top two finalist to fill a city council vacancy. I shared three areas with the city council that resonated with me and I think you'll also agree:

1) We value our proximity to major economic centers like Salt Lake City and Ogden, while embracing the slower pace of our community

2) We find great value in where we live - not only in the lower cost of living, but also in the effective and efficient way the city of Woods Cross delivers services

3) We celebrate our community together through local events sponsored by the city of Woods Cross

Quality of Life

• Identify, win and use grants or infrastructure funds for needed upgrades to water, sewer, roads and bridges
• Support our local law enforcement to keep morale high and crime low
• Develop our City and South Davis County parks and outdoor recreation locations

Planning, Zoning and Growth

• Collaborate with neighboring cites to increase traffic safety and keep mobility high
• Prepare for changes in land ownership and rapid development by continual revisions and improvement of zoning and ordinances

Budget and Accountability

• Provide guidance using 14 years of experience in government accounting to increase revenue and maintain or increase level of service
• Safeguard and provide stewardship of YOUR money
• Support and guide new and existing city administrators through collaboration and sharing of best practices from across the state

Whether you help through providing input, volunteering your resources or time, or just researching city candidates, thank you! 

Your local vote matters!
