Governor praises Great Falls economic effort
Gov. Steve Bullock said Wednesday he is excited at what he’s seeing in Great Falls on two fronts, an increase in job creating businesses and the city’s interest in improving education for early learners, high school and college students.
The Democratic governor made the comments after addressing 150 business people at a Great Falls Development Authority http://www.gfdevelopment.org/ meeting at the airport in which GFDA President Brett Doney ticked off upcoming projects, including several expected but not announced yet, that he hopes will create 1,000 new jobs this year.
The governor said he will advocate more early learning opportunities for children before they reach kindergarten age. He said Montana is one of only nine states that hasn’t invested in this area, which is not only a good social program but helps businesses and economy by giving more students the potential to succeed and land good jobs.
