How have local businesses survived a year of global pandemic impacts, and how is Central Montana positioned to move forward when things return to something more normal?
That’s what a new survey hopes to measure. The Lewistown Area Business and Economic Wellness Assessment online survey was recently released through Snowy Mountain Development Corp., on behalf of the Tax Increment Financing and the Targeted Economic Development districts.
Scot Solberg, chairman of the TIF/TED district board, said he feels the survey will provide an assessment of the impacts of COVID on the business community overall.

Everyone talks about the problem; now there’s a group that wants to do something about it: the struggle working parents face to find childcare in Central Montana.
“We hear a lot about the lack of adequate childcare in this area,” said Carly Wheatley, development director with Snowy Mountain Development Corporation, the area’s economic development organization.
