Gazette opinion: Montana’s tool for job creators – Big Sky Economic Development Trust Fund

"The Big Sky Economic Development Trust Fund is one of the best programs in our toolbox for supporting long-term, sustainable business growth by encouraging job creation and retention," Haxby-Cote said.

The Gazette receives hundreds of press releases daily. Montana state government alone churns out dozens. Most of these email blasts don’t merit significant attention, but an announcement that the Montana Commerce Department awarded up to $790,000 to create 134 jobs got our attention.

Supporting Montana small businesses to add jobs that pay well is economic development at its best. That is the aim of the Big Sky Economic Development Trust Fund http://marketmt.com/BSTF grants announced Wednesday.

The application deadline for the next quarter’s grants is Oct. 3. More information is available at bstf.mt.gov.
