Opportunities:

* Local government has targeted the infrastructure as its #1 priority. Work is taking place regularly with substantial portions of the water and sewer project completed and more scheduled in the near future. The first community roundtable was a success and an astounding number of folks volunteered to be part of the tree and sidewalk board, garbage task force, park and recreation board and board of adjustments. We are making progress. Choteau has maintained a population of around 1,700 for the past eighty years. Its not likely that we will give up now. After all, there is a whole, new future ahead of us.
