OGDEN, Utah (AP) — A Utah city is staking its claim as a hub for the outdoor industry.
Ogden signed an agreement Tuesday with 20 cluster organizations participating in the EU4Sports Clusters Alliance to create an official partnership aimed at growing the area's outdoor industry and outdoor-related companies.
Ogden Mayor Mike Caldwell says the relationship will be the foundation for exploring future opportunities between the city and its new alliance partners.
EU4Sports represents several outdoor groups and brands in Spain, France, Belgium and the Netherlands. The companies range from startups to mid-sized businesses, making everything from climbing crash pads to 360 cameras and sit skis to smartphone apps.
Company representatives say they chose Ogden over other locales like Los Angeles and New York because of the city's outdoor assets and the Ogden city officials.
