Montana Department of Commerce Highlights Successes for National Economic Development Week

National Economic Development Week is May 7-12, and the Montana Department of Commerce is celebrating by reflecting on the successes of its work to support the creation of jobs and opportunities for Montanans in communities across the state.

Commerce works with other statewide, regional and local organizations to support innovative and sustainable industries which strengthen Montana’s economy. In total, Commerce programs have supported hundreds of communities and Main Street businesses through housing, community development, and tourism and business development.

"Economic development is important work, and it’s making a difference in Montana," said Commerce Director Pam Haxby-Cote. "By partnering with our communities and small businesses to support growth, we’re building an ever-stronger and more resilient economy for this and future generations."
