Economist Dr. Larry Swanson tells Great Falls to look ahead, not back

"Don’t be upset about it. This is what is happening and what you have to work with," Dr. Larry Swanson told about 230 people who showed up Tuesday afternoon for the Great Falls Economic Summit.

During the past decade in Cascade County, health care services grew by $30 million. In contrast, net farm income dropped by $14 million.
