Gov. Schweitzer pushes education improvements, Made in Montana program –

"Montana is one of the greatest places to start a business and raise a family," a beaming Gov. Brian Schweitzer told a roomful of business leaders and others at the Missoula Area Economic Development Corp.’s http://maedc.org/ annual meeting Tuesday.

"Quality of life: that’s why you’re here," he said.

The challenge, he said, is to maintain and raise that standard and to market it.

"Families all across America aspire to live in communities like this," he said.

If you know of anyone who has "Come Home" to either bring their business to MT or have started one, please send us the info ([email protected]) Bringing home the best and the brightest is a solid and proactive economic development policy. Montana just has to invite them and give them the opportunity to find out what opportunities exist. http://www.montana-jobs.net and http://www.comehomemontana.org

We’re also considering a listserve or blog to encourage networking among those who would like to Come Home.
Thanks,
Russ
