"We're all about service to this community and making impacts that will have a lasting and positive value for our community economically. We show up everyday and we put in a lot of work to do that and I'm proud of this team."
In this episode of The Vault, Steve Arveschoug, Executive Director of Big Sky Economic Development (BSED) walks us through each of the BSED programs and the work they do to serve our community. Before we dive in to that, however, Steve shares his life journey beginning in Hawaii, bouncing around to different communities growing up, starting his career serving on the Colorado state legislature, and eventually making his way back to Montana with his family.
Steve has served as Executive Director of Big Sky Economic Development for nearly 15 years, and has grown and evolved alongside the team and our Billings community. The economic development efforts of the BSED team can be seen in so many projects throughout Billings, Yellowstone County, and Montana. One of the most recent projects being the revitalization of the Montana Bank Building in to the new home of BSED and Rock31 in the heart of Billings - where this very podcast is recorded. Steve shares the value behind creating a central place for entrepreneurs to collaborate with other entrepreneurs while launching their business and seeing their dreams come to life.
