I think the writing on the wall is being set in stone. Cedar Valley will only accelerate Utah Valley's already hyper growth rate. This Facebook/infrastructure shot in the arm, and the many subsequent followup companies will put North and Northwestern Ut. County's growth on steroids. It will be interesting to see over the next 20 or so years how Lehi's size and influence will be affected. Will Lehi become larger in population than Provo? Will it be second only to Salt Lake City in population, and will Utah County become more populous than Salt Lake County? I sincerely hope that Lehi will protect and reaffirm it's impressive historic core.
Add the former prison site to the mix, and the developing inland port, the Wasatch Front is in for some pretty heady perhaps kind of scary growth.
Prediction: If it doesn't already exist in an infant stage, I see a major University building it's foundations in the not too distant future in the Lehi area.
