Community wants businesses, businesses want talent, and talent wants place. The City of Rexburg has both the talent and the place business is seeking.

Rexburg is home to a vibrant talent pool anchored by Brigham Young University – Idaho, the largest university in Idaho, boasting 37,000 campus-based students, with around 20,000 students on average per semester (unique year-round 3-semester academic calendar). This substantial academic community injects Rexburg with a wealth of diverse skills and expertise, a resource that many communities envy. Moreover, Eastern Idaho recently received a Tech Hub federal designation from the Economic Development Administration. This designation is made possible by the presence of the Idaho National Laboratory, just 27 miles from Rexburg, known as the national leading nuclear energy and cybersecurity facilities. This proximity attracts top-tier scientists, engineers, and professionals to our region, enriching our talent landscape.

Rexburg isn't just a hub for industry; it's a desirable destination for talent. Ranked as the 10th safest city in the U.S. and the 4th fastest-growing small city, Rexburg offers an exceptional quality of life. Situated less than 90 minutes from renowned natural wonders such as Grand Teton National Park, Jackson Hole, and Yellowstone National Park, our region caters to outdoor enthusiasts with world-class skiing, fly fishing, sand dunes, hiking, and mountain biking opportunities. Additionally, Rexburg boasts excellent fiber internet coverage, enhancing connectivity for both work and leisure. Finally, Education is a priority in Rexburg, with our public schools consistently ranking among the best in the state.

Rexburg serves as the commercial center for the surrounding Idaho counties as well as Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and West Yellowstone, Montana, totaling 42 zip codes and 140,000 people. This closeness to these national and international destinations leads to over 6 million cars passing through Rexburg. Yellowstone alone had over  four and a half million visitors in 20213. While demographic data is heavily impacted by the large university student population, a study found that 73.7% of non-student residents earned at least $60,000 a year.
