College feasibility talks a success

We wish to thank those people from the greater Flathead Valley who took the time to participate in the community conversations regarding the future of the old Whitefish Hospital property.  Project team members, Dr. James Samels and Dr. James Martin of The Education Alliance in Boston, express their appreciation for the thoughtful and articulate comments regarding the feasibility of attracting an institution of higher learning to Whitefish.

The enthusiasm that was generated regarding higher education, career opportunities and economic development for Whitefish and the Flathead Valley was apparent from all who joined in the conversations. As soon as The Education Alliance completes the feasibility study, their findings will be available to the community.
