Its making hard for new companies to move here because an executive who lives in New York doesnt want to move to a state like Utah (mainly because of the myths, lower pay, and supposed lack of culture).
When I worked in the marketing dept at the Grand America Hotel a few years ago, they showed us a video developed by the SLCVB which did address the myths. It showed people out drinking at various bars and clubs, and other nightlife, cultural events, etc. It didn't just show people drinking but specifically addressed the myths in a light-hearted way and poked fun at them.
