What do we do?
KE Kanab believes rural success lies in identifying local leaders with the courage to challenge the
way things have been done in the past to find and implement solutions that will preserve the priceless
heritage of the Rural West for the future.  When we find this kind of rural leader, we want to hitch our
wagon to his or her star and help them succeed.
What's new?
KE Kanab is new!  Company president Ed Meyer retired from the Governor's Office of Economic
Development after 21 years leading Utah's rural economic development efforts.  He is committed to
using  the lessons he learned combined with the contacts and resources he knows to benefit a handful
of carefully selected rural projects.
What kind of projects would benefit from our expertise?
Community-based and youth entrepreneurship
Value-added resource development
Heritage tourism
Rural economic development strategic planning
Specialized economic development initiatives such as international trade, attracting films
and commercials, corporate recruiting and rural technology development
Grant writing and project management

...looking back with
days nigh done,

I feel I've had a
heap of fun.

Of course I guess
that more or less

It's you yourself
make happiness

And if your needs
are small and few,

Like me you may be
happy too:

And end up with a
hope, a prayer,

A chuckle in a
rocking-chair.
