Montana Community Finance Corp. and federal stimulus money helps WGM Group move into roomier building

“It’s a big testament to our faith in the community and belief that Missoula is going to continue to prosper,” said WGM http://www.wgmgroup.com/ president and chief executive officer Brent Campbell.

He sees the move to 1111 E. Broadway as a glimmer of good news for a community beset with announcements of the closures at the Smurfit-Stone Container Corp. pulp mill and Macy’s downtown department store.

Montana Community Finance Corp. http://www.mtcommunityfinance.org/ executive director Linda Kindrick said the deal is one of 11 the corporation has helped close under the act, and First Interstate Bank was its partner in the WGM project. The main objective of the loan program is to create jobs, and she said WGM was a good fit because the firm was looking to buy its own building.

“They’re just a great business,” Kindrick said. “They’ve got a wonderful reputation throughout the state. This new building fits with what they’re trying to do with their business.”
