What is a Resource Team?

Sponsored by Montana Department of Commerce with coordination by Montana Economic Developers Association and your local Certified Regional Development Corporation, Resource Teams are

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.
