Why does our plan matter to you?

Having a strategic plan is important for many reasons! Here are just a few:

✔️ Allows us to receive additional funds from government agencies (USDA, EDA, etc.)

✔️ Allows for public input on economic development strategies and focus

✔️ Allows us to seek and leverage private and foundation funds

✔️ Demonstrates our successes to the community and allows for organizational transparency

✔️ Allows for increased collaboration between economic organizations in Butte

When will the final plan be released?

Our final strategic plan will be made public in the Fall of 2025
