Big Sky EDA- Building Businesses and Creating Jobs in the Greater Billings, Montana area
Billings is a place where opportunity isn’t industry-specific, it’s a way of life. And it’s been this way since we were just a railroad stop in 1882. Billings has combined a rich western history, hometown values, and a bustling economy to become Montana’s city.

 

Why Billings? Billings is the economic heartbeat of Montana and the most populous area for a 500-mile radius, making it a natural regional hub for services and amenities. The area offers many qualities key to economic success, including a solid hard-working and well-educated workforce; a diverse economy; and an unquestionably pro-business climate. Think business, think growth, think Billings.

“One of the best things about doing business in Billings is the blended combination of hard working ethics with rock solid capabilities of the work force. Kinetic’s clients are all over the country, we compete with big city agencies, and never have I worried that our smaller urban center can’t keep up. And our people will outwork them any day. I see these characteristics everywhere I go in Billings.” -Dana Pulis, Principal of Kinetic
