Opening doors for business in the Flathead. "Montana West Economic Development"

Mountain West works to move valley ‘from survival to success’
If someone were to hold an election today for chief morale officer of Flathead County, Liz Marchi of Montana West Economic Development http://www.jobs-now.org/ would definitely be a front-runner.

Celebrating her fifth anniversary with the group, Marchi, 51, points to two elements of her tenure at the organization — until recently known as Jobs Now Inc. — that have made her especially proud.

"The first one was getting Resource Label [Group] to expand here out of their Memphis facility," Marchi said. "They’re a high-value manufacturing company with high-wage jobs. They also have a beautiful facility in Whitefish."

The second accomplishment about which Marchi is enthusiastic is the fact that the group itself has worked, over time, toward obtaining a true community perspective.

"We’re much more sophisticated now," she said. "We have a forward-looking sense of the economy as well as of the educational and developmental partnerships that will move the Flathead from survival to success. We also have a board that’s looking for an expanded agenda of economic development."
