GFDA Top 10 – Here is our Top 17 for this week, celebrating work and successes to grow and strengthen our Great Falls regional economy.

Thank you to our investors and partners for your support. You make what we do possible! We are getting close on some new exciting deals. Now BE SURE TO VOTE!

1) Cascade County (Great Falls MSA) was ranked 47th amongst all 388 U.S. metros for private industry average hourly earnings, putting us in the 88th percentile. The ranking was published this week by Syneva Economics. This marks a big improvement in our wages over the last few years. The Billings metro was ranked 141st and Missoula 319th.

2) Moody’s projects that personal income in Cascade County (Great Falls MSA) will grow 4.0% in 2017, followed by 21% over the next five years. I think we can do even better than that!

3) Several Great Falls area leaders have earned well deserved recognition. David Oien, founder of Timeless Seeds in Ulm, has been named Montana’s Outstanding Agricultural Leader of 2017 by Montana State University’s College of Agriculture and the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station. The awards highlights his 30 years of organic and alternative agriculture achievements. We are proud to have helped finance Timeless Seeds’ Ulm facility. See more details in the The Valierian.
