Businesses donate $250K to fund Economic Development Summit in Butte

From Montana firms to some of the nation’s largest corporations, nearly 100 businesses donated some $250,000 to finance U.S. Sen. Max Baucus’ two-day Economic Development Summit here this week.

And while the businesses provided the money, Baucus’ staff and workers and volunteers at the Montana Tech campus pretty much did the rest.

Ray Rogers, hired by the Baucus staff to coordinate the event, said it’s probably the biggest event ever hosted by Montana Tech.

"They wanted an event at which the rule was an event that went off flawlessly," he said of the scores of Tech staffers and community volunteers who worked at the event.

About 4,000 people attended the two-day conference, held all across the Tech campus in uptown Butte.
