Founder of Missoula startup, Nick Shontz, maps TIF projects to show community impact

When the Missoula Redevelopment Agency invested $324,000 to install sidewalks in a Midtown neighborhood in 2017, the project gained little public attention.

When it invested $35,000 to help the Missoula Food Bank prepare for its new facility in 2016, the contribution hardly made headlines.

But Nick Shontz took note.

The founder of the Missoula technology startup Geofli spent much of September exporting data provided by MRA for a new website launched last month. The result is a nearly complete map of nearly every MRA project completed over the last few decades.
