Economic Progress Instigator
 
 
 
To accentuate Green River’s rural pride and pioneering spirit, Epicenter provides housing and business resources and promotes the arts. The rural town of Green River (population of just under 1000) is centrally located on the Frontier in the beautiful high desert of southeastern Utah. Positioned at the trifecta of the railroad, interstate, and the Green River itself, the town is poised for growth. Founded in 2009 under the umbrella non-profit that includes the Community Center, Thrift Store, and affordable apartments, the Epicenter is operated by young professionals whose focus is affordable housing, economic & community development and the promotion of the arts. Further information on the Epicenter can be found here (www.ruralandproud.org).
