 Committed to Helping Improve Our Community
Back in 1963, Richard Stone, administrative assistant to the general superintendent of Geneva Works, decided Geneva Steel had more to invest in Utah County than just jobs. He felt Geneva need to help Utah County take care of its own.

His answer? Help for a United Way in Utah County.

Stone, who is now retired from Geneva Steel with 26 years of service, helped organize Utah County's United Way ­ or "United Fund" as it was then called.

"It is important that Geneva and its employees help improve our community by establishing the United Way," he said.

"It is a good, organized way to give, and it's a way to pay your share to take care of the less fortunate," Stone said.

Geneva Steel and its employees continue to be major donors to the United Way. Since 1966, more than $2.7 million has been donated by Geneva Steel and its employees with virtually all of this going to help local community needs.

Geneva Helped Establish Utah Valley Economic Development Association
To further help Utah Valley, Stone and a group of business leaders ­ under the direction of then-Govenor Calvin Rampton ­ established and economic development board. This group late became known as the Utah Valley Economic Development Association, or UVEDA. UVEDA was instrumental in brining Stouffers, Valtek, and many other businesses to Utah Valley.
