Liberty County, Montana flourishing

Sometimes there’s no simple explanation for a striking statistic.

Liberty County http://co.liberty.mt.us/ residents and other observers are pleasantly perplexed over exactly why the county north of Great Falls along the Canadian border had the biggest 10-year population gains in the 2010 census among 14 counties in the Great Falls trade zone.

The good news continued later in 2010 with announcements that two major grain companies independently planned to build large, rapid shuttle loader grain facilities on opposite sides of Chester.

Paul Tuss, executive director of the five-county Bear Paw Development Corporation http://www.bearpaw.org/ , heard talk that a new Hutterite colony was established in Liberty County during the decade, which could have accounted for as much as two-thirds of the population growth.
