Presentation to the Montana Interim Committee on Economic Affairs by Evan Barrett, Chief Business Officer, Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity

Schweitzer/Bohlinger "New Day" Economic Development Roadmap

*****

Evan Barrett presented Governor Schweitzer’s Economic Roadmap to the Interim Legislative Committee on June 24. It’s a comprehensive outlook that covers a broad range of critical areas vital to economic success in Montana. I encourage you to learn more about it and provide input to Evan and his staff. The goal of Montana is to move forward and this sets the stage.

Tony Preite, Director of the Dept. of Commerce also presented his agenda. It is at: http://www.matr.net/article-15155.html

It’s our future so please get involved.
