The MDT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program encourages and supports the participation of companies owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in transportation contracts.

Montana has the seventh best tax climate for businesses in the 50 states in the 2014 ratings released Wednesday by the Tax Foundation.

Gov. Steve Bullock and a Montana Chamber of Commerce executive praised the state’s ratings as showing Montana is an attractive place to do business.

The director of the Montana Budget and Policy Center said the ratings fail to measure the state’s quality of life or the business climate that helps sustain it.

"This report shows, once again, that Montana is a great place to do business. In addition to our great tax climate, we have a highly trained workforce and an unmatched quality of life, which also entices companies to Montana. This is just another sign of what businessmen and woman are recognizing: Montana is one of the very best places in the country to do business." Governor Steve Bullock
