The Big Sky Economic Development Authority (EDA) and Economic Development Corporation (EDC) Plan to Court Alternative Energy Firms

“Creating Montana Business Opportunities” is how Big Sky EDA/EDC will brand itself in the future.

The Big Sky Economic Development Authority http://www.bigskyeda-edc.org/ (EDA) and Economic Development Corporation (EDC) are launching a new look and marketing approach, as well as adding a new focus to their development efforts.

The opportunity for renewable energy development is great for Billings, said EDA/EDC Director Steve Arveschough. “Our goal is two-fold,” he told members at a joint meeting of their executive committees last week. “Billings is a good hub for that sort of thing, as a headquarters for the companies, themselves, and as a location for the support businesses for warehouses and supplies.” Both kinds of businesses will be targeted as prospects for recruitment efforts.
