Has your Montana community taken advantage of MEDA’s Resource Team Assessments?

"As a result of the Resource Team Assessment the City of Forsyth now has a master plan for making improvements
in our community and we are aggressively implementing the plan."

Past Mayor Dennis Kopitzke

"The Resource Team has brought such unity and inspiration to our tiny community. It is a great service, and reassuring to know that you are still there to help us with advice, encouragement and funding sources."

Ellen Allen, Custer, Montana

Sponsored by Montana Department of Commerce with coordination by Montana
Economic Developers Association and your local Certified Regional Development Corporation, Resource Teams are
a county and/or community based planning and assessment process involving interviewing a large number of people
in the community, recording their suggestions and having a team of experts write

up implementation plans for
county/community use. The critical focus is the community. The team of experts suggests ways of accomplishing
the goals of the community.
