Flathead Business Journal Article April 18, 2011

People who have never visited Montana sometimes ask, “Why do you live in Northwest Montana?” The only possible answer is to say with a smile, “Have you ever been to Northwest Montana?

It may sound like a cliché, but Northwest Montana is indeed a slice of heaven. There’s the breathtaking beauty of the Montana mountains including the Rocky Mountain range. There’s the numerous crystal clear lakes and streams, including Flathead Lake which is the largest fresh water lake this side of the Mississippi. There’s the beauty and grandeur of Glacier Park. But, Montana has something else equally impressive to offer. We are one of only two states in the Nation in the black! In addition, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and National Chamber Foundation have ranked us the No. 1 state for entrepreneurship and overall business start-up activity. So, whether you are looking for a wonderful place to retire where you can fish, hunt, hike and enjoy all that Nature has to offer, or whether you are looking for a place to start a new business, Montana is the State for You!
