GFDA Top Ten for 7/26/26

1) The Great Falls City Commission approved Annexation, PUD Zoning, and preliminary plat for the Good Medicine housing project of the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians of Montana. This 18-acre, 100+ unit development includes single-family, duplex, and multifamily units that will be built in phases, hopefully breaking ground in 2026; see KRTV and TheElectric. Let’s get your project moving to the next step, reach out to Jake at 1-406-403-4937 or [email protected].
2) GFDA’s Business Development team is preparing to meet with a renewable natural gas manufacturer interested in Great Falls. We will learn how a straw-based biofuels project could provide a secondary market for commodity producers and potential benefits of this opportunity. If you are a farmer with a straw-producing crop or a stakeholder in the ag, bio processing, or energy space, we want to hear from you! Reach out to Sara Niccum at 1-406-590-1301 or [email protected].
3) This week our regional Great Falls SBDC used Jobs EQ to help a local business analyze regional wage data, giving them better information to prepare a competitive bid. Access to tools like JobsEQ, along with other professional market research databases, is one of the many benefits available to SBDC clients. If you need help researching wages, labor market trends, or other business data for your industry, reach out to Rich Gannon at 1-406-836-2078 or [email protected], or Christian Nichols at 1-406-788-9385 or [email protected].
