Thus, as business and community leaders, and as citizens of our state, we need to understand the landscape, today and tomorrow. To best make decisions, on the opportunities before us, we need a clear fiscal picture and policy.

As a result, over 85 business and community leaders from Powell and Park County joined the Powell Economic Partnership for the panel discussion.
