Missoula’s Best Place Project: Get assertive on Missoula jobs

The goal: Create 2,500 new "primary jobs" and another 2,375 spin-off jobs in Missoula that pay an annual salary of $37,000.

The method for achieving that? Go on the offense. Raise $3.2 million for an aggressive, ambitious public-private five-year strategic plan that will better position Missoula for increased wealth and bring to the city meaningful, robust growth.

As Missoula’s new economic development initiative – the Best Place Project http://www.ci.missoula.mt.us/index.aspx?nid=1004 – moves forward, these are just some of the targets its leaders will focus on, said James Grunke, a national fundraising expert and facilitator hired to help launch the Best Place Project.

Envisioned by Missoula Mayor John Engen and crafted with input from 25 Missoula business and community leaders, the plan – which is soon to go public – has a host of other priorities.
