Annual Economic Outlook Seminar Headed to Nine Montana Cities

This year’s program focuses on property tax growth across the state, an issue of importance to many living or doing business in Montana.

For the 41st year, the Bureau of Business and Economic Research at the University of Montana will visit nine Montana cities to deliver its local, state and national economic outlooks. New this year, BBER will release its inaugural Montana Economic Report 2016, a comprehensive assessment on the Montana economy, at the half-day events, which kick off Tuesday, Jan. 26, in Helena.

This year’s program focuses on property tax growth across the state, an issue of importance to many living or doing business in Montana. According to BBER economists, one of the reasons why Montana’s oldest tax is among the least popular is because it also is the least understood. And in most communities, it continues to increase. The BBER’s 2016 Economic Outlook Seminar series, to be held around the state January-March, takes aim at that issue.
