Nearly six years after the negativity surrounding the closure of the Stimson lumber mill site, positive feelings continue to emerge in Libby http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libby,_Montana with the promise of an exciting future. The potential appears to exist for the 411-acre property to develop into an economic hub for the community as well as all of northwestern Montana. For now, the process continues to figure out the best route to reach fruits of the future.
“What we really want to do is look at the real economic opportunities at the site so we can tailor and gear to those potential users,” said Michael Hancock of E2, a consulting firm that studies redevelopment. “We haven’t finalized exactly how we’re going to approach this but we’ll look at strengths and the businesses at the site and ask, “why would someone come to Libby to start a business?”
