In an exciting move during International Economic Development Week, the Great Falls Development Alliance travelled to Lethbridge, Alberta to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with Economic Development Lethbridge (EDL). With this agreement, we plan greater cross-border cooperation between our two economic development organizations that will raise awareness of our region, ease the experience of companies looking to start, expand or relocate on either side of the border, and to attract investment to our region- especially in the world of food, ag and bio processing. We are very grateful to our partners at EDL for orchestrating such a magnificent visit and look forward to hosting them this fall.
1) During our visit to Lethbridge we toured a meat processing plant, 11-hectare greenhouse operation, winery, biofuels plant, oil seed crush plant, the Lethbridge Agra-food Hub and Trade Centre, Lethbridge College agrafood research facilities, and processors located in Canada’s Premier Food Corridor. The executive directors of the Montana Wheat and Barley Commission and the Montana Pulse Committee were able to join us on parts of the trip.
