Good day to all the friends of the Butte-Silver Bow Chamber of Commerce,

Can you imagine living and working in a more wonderful commu- nity? Everyday I thank the powers that be for allowing me to live and work in Butte.

Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to serve as the President of the Chamber for 2015. I would like to give a special thank you to Paula Ruark for her exceptional leadership over the last couple of years. Marko and our team at the Chamber are prepared to help all prospective, and existing businesses, realize their goals.

Over the next year we will be working diligently to connect busi- nesses throughout the community. Our plans include an invigo- rated Board of Directors, staff, and ambassadors who will be asking for help and input from all of you. We will be bringing back the Duck Races, Color Race, Golf Tournament, Annual Dinner, and seminars. Of course, the Chamber will also provide its monthly newsletter “The Progress,” business card socials, ribbon cut- tings, grand openings, hospitality rooms for tournaments, free print and web exposure for members and advertising opportunities.

These are only a few of the exciting things coming your way from the Chamber. We are here to serve you and look forward to seeing you in OUR community.

Thank you, Pete Akey Pete Akey

Friends and neighbors in Butte and southwest Montana,

The Butte Local Development Corporation is once again partnering with the Butte Chamber of Commerce and the Butte Local Government to provide this Annual Community Report to our local citizens and others in southwest Montana. This past year has seen quite a bit of activity in various areas of economic development throughout Butte. The BLDC continues its close working relationship with the Chamber and local government which has prov- en to be successful for our community. We hope that you find the information in this report informative and educational.

Butte’s population grew again in 2014 – the 8th consecutive year of growth, which is the longest consecutive growth period prior to 1920. Our current average annual labor force is 17,016. Our per capita income continues to grow. It is ranked lOth highest ($45,047) in the state and highest among the

BLDC - Butte Local Development Corporation most populace counties.

The BLDC worked on a large variety of projects during 2014.

• Finalized the financing of the Community Fiber Optic Network, which enabled it to become operational in July

• Established the Butte Economic Development Coordinating Council to work on a collaborative and coordinated marketing effort for Butte Local Development • Helped re-establish the Major Employers Group to identify, discuss, and take action on issues affecting their busi- ness and our community

• Assisted in financing the new ownership of Millers Boots and Shoes that helped save one of Butte oldest and most recognized businesses

• Sponsored the second annual Community Excellence Awards to recognize business and individuals that “go the extra mile” for our community

• Provided contract solicitations from federal and state agencies to local businesses that resulted in approximately $800,000 in additional work

• Provided administrative leadership for EDA grant that established the Montana Manufacturing Innovation Center which is incubating seven (7) new manufacturing companies

• Relocated BLDC offices to the Thornton building. New offices are in the same building as Headwaters RC&D, which will provide better service for clients requesting or requiring assistance. This is the first step in establishing a “One Stop Economic Development Center” in Butte

• BLDC funds lent out to local businesses – $381,050 which leveraged $604,426 of commercial financing

2015 should prove to be a big year for construction in Butte. Several large projects will begin construction this spring- Butte-Silver Bow Basin Reservoir Water Treatment Plant, Metro Sewer upgrade, Montana Tech Natural Resources Research Center, Renovation of Comfort Inn, Buffalo Wild Wings and Hardees along with additional retail and commer- cial construction projects. The total of these projects should be about $75 million, which will have a major impact on our local economy.

We want to express our appreciation to all those local businesses that support the BLDC through their memberships. We look forward to working hard for Butte during this next year and many years to come. With everyone’s concerted effort we will continue to see Butte prosper and grow.

• 69 Recreation 70 • BUTTE CHAMBER: report - relocation - recruitment • 2015 Chamber Color Run HOW IT WORKS: You will want to start the race with a shirt as clean and white as the first Montana snow but we will make sure that you soak up such a great deal of color that you may just end up being colored for life. Don’t be surprised if you even end up looking like a leprechaun tripped into that huge rainbow of color that he’s always searching for. It may be enough to get your feet moving and dance it off at the end of the run. Whatever you do, let the colors move you! Recreation We will warn you that even though you will start out as clean as a bar of soap, it will not last for long. As the run continues, you will find your- self being covered in a spectrum of colors: blue, green, pink, orange and yellow. At each Kilometer during the run, a new color explosion will add to the clean slate that you once were, until you come to the finish line and arrive into a final explosion of colors...so much in fact, that you will wonder if Iris sent Zeus himself to deliver the message.

ABOUT: Our goal at THE COLOR DASH is to lift your spirits and color your day!! So, when confetti, glitter, a mountain of chocolate chip cookies or even that cute laughing baby on YouTube can’t hold up to the task-- we will be here for you!!

Now, at THE COLOR RUN, we know that running isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but we encourage you to change it up! Rather than dashing AWAY from something, try dashing TOWARDS something this year. Just COLOR RUN. Not for any reason. Dash for fun. Just Dash, because.

The COLOR RUN is coming to an area near you with a hurricane of color that will even turn your tears of joy into a tie-dyed movement of bliss and renew your outlook on what fun and life is all about. After 5K of color whirlwinds, there will be too many laughs to count and so many memories we promise that your day will shine. But most importantly, a bleak outlook will definitely turn into a flood of colors like a spring wildflower meadow.

So let’s get this party started and turn your life colorful in The COLOR RUN. This is one event you don’t want to miss.

WHAT IS THE COLOR IN “THE COLOR RUN”? Now, now, I know you probably think you will actually be dashing through real rainbow dust –- and no, there will be no leprechauns or pots of gold at the end of the run, so don’t even ask.

But let’s clear this up. This isn’t something too good to be true. Our color is a non-toxic, non-irritating, food-grade colored corn-starch. Processed right here in the rockin’ United States of America. So running, walking, crawling or rolling through this spectacular show of color and laughter may in fact change your perspective but not your level of wellness.

The races last year in Butte were on August 2nd and there was a neon evening color race on October 4th. For more information, please contact the Chamber at 723-3177 for dates of our upcoming Chamber Color Run
