Missoula Economic Partnership, UM and local government set course on collaboration

It took an "extraordinary" set of circumstances for Glacial Lake Missoula to leave traces of an ancient shoreline 500 feet above the floor of the Missoula Valley.

A similar set of circumstances has left Missoula with a thriving economy, one Grant Kier predicts will have generational impacts and lead to stronger ties between the city’s premier institutions.

"If economic development is anything, it’s about making sure the children that grow up in our town, in our state, have every opportunity to take their skills and build on that," Kier said. "If they’re willing to put their energy and their efforts to work in our community to make it stronger, we as a community will give them a platform to succeed."
