| September 19, 2008 |  View for printing |
Despite the downturn in the economy and drop in the stock market earlier this week, attitudes were positive during the Columbia Falls Area Chamber of Commerce http://www.columbiafallschamber.com/ monthly economic development meeting Tuesday morning at the Back Room.
Don Bennett of Freedom Bank said the German flooring company that is considering Columbia Falls for the site of a new operation will be making a decision on a location soon. The firm is taking a close look at the industrial park in town, since railway access is needed, as well as other possible sites.
According to Bennett, the German firm is working with Montana West Economic Development http://www.dobusinessinmontana.com/ on the project. He said that MWED President and CEO Mike Strotheide has stepped down, and Lyle Phillips is serving in an interim position.
