State officials have added outdoor products and recreation to their list of "economic clusters," or industry sectors the state will give special focus to for economic development.

Among the reasons cited for the addition is that several winter sports companies have moved or announced moves of at least some of their operations to Ogden; the move of the headquarters of U.S. Speedskating, the sport's national governing body, from Ohio to Utah to be near the Olympic Oval; the state serving as the site of the semi-annual Outdoor Retailer convention; and the state's five national parks and 41 state recreation sites.

The state government Web site lists the following as clusters: life sciences, software development and information technology, aerospace, financial services, energy and natural resources, and "competitive accelerators."
