‘A really good thing going’: White Sulphur Springs, Montana celebrates five-year revitalization campaign

"I think the attention brought to White Sulphur by this has gotten the attention of people that maybe want to come to a small town and open a small business," he said. "If they see that you’re building a new school and new highway, they’re going to want to move there. You’ve got to get your city in line before anything happens."

When Red Ants Pants http://redantspants.com/ opened a decade ago in an old storefront, many in the community wondered if it would survive. As owner Sarah Calhoun successfully grew her business and the Red Ants Pants Music Festival now brings thousands of visitors to White Sulphur every summer, "I think it gave the community a little bit of hope for what can happen here," Hedrich said.
