Butte will play host to Montana's next Economic Development Summit, Sen. Max Baucus announced Monday.

The event will bring Montana businesses together while providing in an effort to boost the economy and get workers back on the job.

"We need to fix the economy, and the best way to do that is to create good paying jobs," Baucus said.  "Since I first started hosting these summits 10 years ago, they've just gotten better and better. I have a feeling this is going to be our best summit yet. More than ever before, Montanans are working together to get our economy back on track. We are working to create good paying jobs that will keep Montana families right where they belong- here in Montana."

The Montana Economic Development Summit will take place September 13-14 at Montana Tech. The event is free and open to the public, and features policy discussions, one-on-one networking between Montana business owners and corporate and federal agency decision makers, and training workshops on issues like launching a business and exporting.

Baucus said he picked the Mining City to hold the fifth statewide economic development conference for the second time in a row because Butte is centrally located and the town has a burgeoning high tech industry.
