N E W C O M E R S 12 Great Falls Area Chamber of Commerce www.greatfallschamber.org Welcome to Great Falls On behalf of the community of Great Falls, welcome to the Chamber of Commerce's 2023 Community Guide. The pages you are about to view help paint a pretty complete picture of this wonderful place we call home. Great Falls is a community that prides itself on "buying local" and for good reason: the goods and services provided by our neighbors are often tailored for real Montana conditions and the dollars spent in a community benefit that community. You'll see new and old places to shop and eat, professional services linked to the latest global technologies, Regional Health Care tailored to our population and way of life, and plenty of "Mom and Pop" businesses that allow entrepreneurship to flourish. Great Falls sits comfortably on the banks of the mighty Missouri River, home to spectacular fishing. Our access to wilderness, winter sports, hunting, and cycling are the best in the state. And if the weather keeps you indoors, we have several quality museums to visit, wonderful new restaurants around town, and exciting live music venues. For those who have lived here for several years or several generations, use this guide to get a fresh look at your hometown. I think you'll find lots of new businesses and opportunities you may have missed as Great Falls continues to enjoy the momentum brought on by a new sense of civic pride and young risk-takers. Our military bookends, Malmstrom Air Force Base and the Montana Air National Guard continue to bring dividends to all of our citizens as we enjoy our role in keeping our nation safe. And let's not forget our wonderful educational offerings, from quality public and private K-12 schools to our two universities, the University of Providence, and Great Falls College/MSU. This year we will welcome the first class to enroll in Montana's first Medical School, Touro University. Construction is also underway for Montana's newest Nursing School from MSU. Again, welcome to all who come here… first-time visitors or potential employers, new employees, or long-time residents. The Chamber is always here to answer questions, give guidance, or simply make introductions so you, your family, or your business feel at home and can help us all keep Great Falls GREAT. Best, Bob Kelly, City of Great Falls Mayor
