Missoula Economic Partnership assumes oversight of Bitterroot Economic Development District

The economic development district assigned to three western Montana counties, including Missoula, has been folded into the Missoula Economic Partnership, where it will coordinate grants aimed at regional planning and job growth.

The Bitterroot Economic Development District was incorporated in 2002 and hired its first employee in 2006. Over the past 10 years, it has served as the federally designated economic arm of Missoula, Mineral and Ravalli counties.
