"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

Two years ago, Butte was abuzz after a German wind turbine manufacturer said it would build a $25 million plant in the Mining City, providing a jolt for both the local and state economy.

Joachim Fuhrländer, chairman of Fuhrländer AG, gathered economic development officials at the Butte-Silver Bow Chamber of Commerce to say that his company was "here to promise again (we will come) to Butte."

Gov. Brian Schweitzer led a tour of the 40-acre site in the Butte TIFID west of town, where the factory was planned to be built. Schweitzer explained the workforce training grants for which Fuhrländer would qualify and hosted the contingent that evening at his Georgetown Lake home.
