Day three on the job, MEP director Grant Kier details organization’s future economic goals

When Grant Kier arrived in Missoula with his wife and daughter, he spent more than a year looking for work, never mind his advanced degree and experience as an engineer and geologist.

On Wednesday, his third day on the job as the new director of Missoula Economic Partnership, the frustrations born from that experience haven’t left him. They now play a prominent role in MEP’s future as it looks to move Missoula’s economic dial.

"I saw firsthand what it felt like to be an overqualified employee in our marketplace," Kier said. "I know what it feels like to have ambitions about what I wanted to do with my talents, and how I wanted to give back to my community, and feeling like I wasn’t able to achieve my own potential because of the very few job opportunities that existed here."
