Let’s Play: Games and Toys
“Our mortgage payment is actually almost half of what we were paying for rent, so our monthly expenses have gone down significantly, and we own it,” said Nicole.
“There is no way we would be where we are today without the help of GFDA over the years. There is just absolutely no way. Even if they just want to kick around some ideas, the small business development center is perfect because you get help, especially with budgeting and analysis, and can even afford your idea. We now have a forever home.”
Montana Build

Easter Seals Goodwill Renovation
“We hadn’t even considered Brownfield funding when we started the process of renovating two large buildings built in the 1950s – we probably couldn’t have completed the project without those funds.”
– Dennis Peterson, ESGW, discussing the renovation of a vacant building in Downtown Great Falls MT
Vernon Quality Carpentry
“We had been in the business for quite some time before I went to them, but I wasn’t in a real good position. A lot to do with downtown, but also not having the experience, knowledge, or education that I really needed to manage my finances and get from one job to the next. GFDA helped to finance my company so that we could accept three contracts that were offered to us simultaneously and allow me to hire the crew I needed to be able to spread out between Great Falls, Billings and Butte.”
– Shelly Vernon, Owner
