September News from Prospera Business Network

Some organizations may look at the way things are and simply ask, why? And, then there are the organizations that look at things and discover, why not?

BLACKHAWK!, a local manufacturing organization recently aqcuired by Alliant Techsystems (ATK), is just one of the many businesses within southwest Montana that invested in the "why not" after evaluating opportunities for growth. The result? Relocating and expanding headquarters to the city of Manhattan as home to their new manufacturing facility.

Working closely with the Montana Governor’s Office of Economic Development, Gallatin County, and the City of Manhattan, Prospera Business Network coordinated and compiled an expansion package that included a tax abatement schedule, provided by the Gallatin County Commissioners Office, an enomic impact analysis, and an overview of state incentive programs for the manufacturer.

This information was vital to the decision-making process at Alliant Techsystems (ATK), whose national headquarters are in Minnesota.

"BLACKHAWK!’s decision to locate their new facility in Manhattan is exciting," said Gallatin County Commissioner, Steve White. "We appreciate everyone who participated in the discussions and the ultimate decision by BLACKHAWK!. This certainly will benefit Manhattan and our county, and also demonstrates that businessnes of all sizes are able to grow and prosper in Gallatin County."
