Glacier County Commissioners would like to welcome you to Glacier County. Our County is located in northwestern Montana between the Great Plains and the Rocky Mountains. Our geographically and culturally diverse county includes the Blackfeet reservation, Glacier National Park and Lewis & Clark National Forest lands. We are bordered by 75 miles of international boundary with two gates open year round and one seasonal international border crossing into Alberta Canada. Four small communities and two incorporated towns are located within the county. Cut Bank, home of the county seat and approximately 3,500 residents, is located on the east end of the county at the start of the Great Plains. This community sprang up around the railroad and agriculture needs of the surrounding area and also reflects part of a large oil boom in the early part of the century. The diverse population is the result of this settlement. In the western part of the county, situated in the foothills sits Browning, the home and government seat of the Blackfeet Tribe. The incorporated portion of Browning, with 1,400 residents does not reflect their population of 7,000 in the community and is largely representative of the Blackfeet tribe on a part of their ancestral homeland dating back over 5,000 years. Other communities are East Glacier Park and St. Mary, both mostly summer recreation areas with entrances into Glacier National Park, and both located in the foot of the Rocky Mountains, known to the Blackfeet as the backbone of the world. Cut Bank, the county seat has all the businesses you would expect to find in any of Montana’s smaller towns, including a hospital and clinic. It also has an historic airport with regional and international connections to larger airports. There is a very nice nine hole golf course, swimming pool, nearby sites of the Louis and Clark expedition and other interesting historic and prehistoric sites that can be visited. The Glacier County museum has an interesting collection of historical artifacts, buildings and memorabilia on display and also a very comprehensive archive history of early history and individuals of the area, including an enormous collection of data on Blackfeet history. Browning, the seat of the Blackfeet tribal government and federal building also boasts a community college, as well as world-class Indian Museum and Heritage Center. There is also a large new casino located next to a new fairgrounds, race track and Indian camp area that hosts and annual Indian celebration and pow-wow. Many events center on this area during the summer months. Blackfeet tribal fishing and recreational permits, along with guide and tour services to blue ribbon trout fishing and other recreational opportunities can be found here. East Glacier Park, a small winter community, grows in the summer with many visitors and summer help from all parts of the globe that help meet the needs of the larger population. There is a very beautiful and challenging nine hole golf course, campgrounds, trail rides, boat rides, native interpretive tours and other recreational activities located at this stop on the railroad. Saint Mary, another small winter community that grows with the influx of many summer visitors, is the east entrance to the Going-to-the-Sun Road, crossing the Rocky Mountains at an elevation of 6646 feet. The two large lakes in the St. Mary valley offer boat tours and fine fishing. There are many recreational opportunities both inside Glacier National Park and outside the park in this area. We hope you will someday visit our beautiful county, attend a rodeo, Indian dance, hike, ride, bike, camp, shop, relax or just meet the friendly, interesting and diverse people that make Glacier County home.
The Port Authority of San Antonio (dba Port San Antonio) is a public entity that was created to redevelop the site of the former Kelly Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. The site`s 1,900-acre (7.7 square kilometer) campus is the single-largest commercial/industrial property in Bexar County. Several public- and private-sector tenant customers lease former Air Force and newly-built facilities from the Port. The Port`s customers are principally engaged in aerospace/aircraft maintenance and completion (for both military and commercial/private aircraft), Department of Defense, logistics and manufacturing activities. The Port is regarded as a notable example of base redevelopment, and in 2010 it was named Base Redevelopment Community of the Year by the Association of Defense Communities—a Washington, D.C.- based group that supports the transition of former military facilities to serve other public and commercial uses. The Port is a political subdivision of the state of Texas. Its 11-member of board directors is appointed by each member of the San Antonio City Council. Though created by government, the Port is operationally independent. It has no taxing authority nor does it receive operational funds from any governmental entity. The Port has leveraged its large campus - a multi-modal logistics platform - and 10 million square feet of commercial/industrial facilities to attract over 70 public- and private-sector employers. These tenant customers directly employ 12,000 workers and generate an economic impact of over $4 billion annually, according to a 2013 study by St. Mary`s University`s SABER Research Institute. Additionally, the aerospace companies located at Port San Antonio generate $1.5 billion in economic activity annually.
Garfield County is one of the 64 counties in the U.S. state of Colorado. As of the 2010 census, the population was 56,389.
The City of Atlanta remains a transportation hub, not just for the country but also for the world: Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is one of the nations busiest in daily passenger flights. Direct flights to Europe, South America, and Asia have made metro Atlanta easily accessible to the more than 1,000 international businesses that operate here and the more than 50 countries that have representation in the city through consulates, trade offices, and chambers of commerce. The city has emerged as a banking center and is the world headquarters for 13 Fortune 500 companies. Atlanta is the Capital city of the southeast, a city of the future with strong ties to its past. The old in new Atlanta is the soul of the city, the heritage that enhances the quality of life in a contemporary city. In the turbulent 60s, Atlanta was the city too busy to hate. And today, in the 21st Century, Atlanta is the city not too busy to care. For more than four decades Atlanta has been linked to the civil rights movement. Civil Rights leaders moved forward, they were the visionaries who saw a new south, a new Atlanta. They believed in peace. They made monumental sacrifices for that peace. And because of them Atlanta became a fast-pace modern city which opened its doors to the 1996 Olympics. Die-hard Southerners view Atlanta as the heart of the Old Confederacy; Atlanta has become the best example of the New South, a fast-paced modern city proud of its heritage. In the past two decades Atlanta has experienced unprecedented growth -- the official city population remains steady, at about 420,000, but the metro population has grown in the past decade by nearly 40%, from 2.9 million to 4.1 million people. A good measure of this growth is the ever-changing downtown skyline, along with skyscrapers constructed in the Midtown, Buckhead, and outer perimeter (fringing I-285) business districts.
