Turning On the Off-Season: Opportunities for Economic Progress in the Yellowstone-Teton Region

Help Spend $100,000 on Economic and Transportation Planning for Greater Yellowstone

The Yellowstone Business Partnership (YBP) launched its Seasonality Project early in 2006 with the help of a dozen business and civic leaders in the Greater Yellowstone area. These leaders were interested in a cross-boundary analysis of the social, economic and natural assets of our region, with special focus on the problems and opportunities facing rural communities during the least profitable, non-summer months.

Ideas for research and future regional collaborations were then generated from over 80 community leaders who attended six public workshops in October 2006. The online report – Turning On the Off-Season: Opportunities for Progress in the Yellowstone-Teton Region– is helping regional leaders grasp the nature of our common challenges and how collaborating with neighboring counties and states could lead to lasting, effective solutions.
