Details in spotlight at 2005’s version of Great Falls economic summit on Dec. 13.

Planners of the annual economic summit say the event will be short on lengthy presentations and long on details.

The summit, being organized by the Great Falls Development Authority http://www.gfdevelopment.org/ , is set for Dec. 13 at the University of Great Falls Theater. The session, open to the public, begins at 1 p.m. A summary and question-and-answer session is scheduled for 4:35 p.m. http://www.matr.net/events.phtml?showdetail=1424

It will be the second year for the economic gathering, which attracted about 250 people last year.

"There will be enough new information that even if they went last year, they will want to show up again this year," said Richard Owen, part of a committee helping organize the GFDA event.

The key presentation will come from Dr. Larry Swanson, director of the Center for the Rocky Mountain West in Missoula. Swanson will look at the Great Falls economy and how it fits into the international, national and Montana scene.

Swanson was an important part of the first summit last year. John Kramer, president of the GFDA, said he expects Swanson to have a more detailed look at the Great Falls economy.

"He’s more focused to the real world this year," Kramer said.
