LGI Homes Unveils 700-Home Desert Edge Community, Expanding Salt Lake City Presence
LGIH sits 31% above its 52-week low of $33.55.
Summary
LGI Homes announced the grand opening of Desert Edge, a new community in Tooele County, Utah, significantly expanding its presence in the Salt Lake City market.
