Southwest Montana Business Assessment:

Southwest Montana, like other regions across the nation, is experiencing the longest recession in generations and the impacts of a retracting global economy.

Business and government across the seven counties of SW Montana are joining together to promote economic stability. We are committed to retain our existing businesses and sustain our local economies. We have found that the best way of attaining these goals is to keep our local dollars working at home. In order to do this we must better understand what products and services are being offered throughout southwest Montana and the willingness for companies to cooperate to keep their business local. We request your assistance to succeed in this endeavor.

To make it easier for you, we have established this website, where you can complete a survey in less than five minutes. The information you provide will be totally confidential. If you include an email address in your response we will send you a summary of the results (all individual responses will remain confidential).

Working together we can make a difference.

Thank you in advance for your assistance on this important matter. We look forward to hearing from you.



Jim Smitham, Executive Director - BLDC
