The future of your community is at stake. Don’t buy what this guy is selling. Take it from me, one who watched a genuinely pleasant and special community become TOO popular and destroy itself. If you draw all these people to this special place, it will no longer be special! Do you want the summer tourist season ALL YEAR LONG??? Believe me, enough people will discover and move here all by themselves, we don’t need any cheerleading squad drawing attention to us and over-growing the place. As much as this economy is hurting me and others, I am thankful for one aspect…its slowing the growth. Growth is NOT the necessary thing many would lead you to believe it is.

I don’t see the Flathead becoming another “Silicon Forest” anytime soon, so there’s really nothing to worry about. There is enough infrastructure, but not the high levels of logistical support that major high tech firms need, as well as a tax structure that is not exactly conducive to high tech business growth.
