Economic Development Meeting

The Fort Benton Chamber of Commerce invites you to participate on Thursday, March

28th in a Ripple Effects Mapping (REM) exercise and help map the history of what Fort

Benton and the Chouteau County area has accomplished since our MEDA (Montana

Economic Developers Association) Resource Assessment held in 2017.

This two-hour REM session is not only a way to visually show all that has been

accomplished, and an opportunity to celebrate that, but is also a way to analyze

accomplishments and recognize work that still needs to be done.

We will be able to use this information in future efforts on behalf of our community and

we will also receive funds (up to $1000) to complete a community improvement

project! For your information and review, please follow this link or visit

www.medamembers.org website to access the Fort Benton Resource Team Report

completed in 2017.
