2 interesting business updates that just came out in the Daily Interlake newspaper. The old hospital building in Whitefish which had been bank owned after a previous buyer defaulted, has been sold to a firm planning on using the building for a 4 year college. We have Flathead Valley Community college in the valley that serves a wide population and some 4 year degrees are possible through that school. In fact FVCC has nearly completed a medical building for nursing students and surgical techs.
Depratu Ford and Volkswagen in Whitefish will be building a new Volkswagen dealership at the south end of Kalispell. Their VW sales were up 34% last year so they want to have a VW sales office set apart from their Ford dealership.
It is so encouraging that after 4-5 years of businesses surviving through the recession that there is now opportunities for growth again in the valley.
A friend owns a guest ranch in the valley. She remarked yesterday that her bookings are way up after the Bachelor show was aired Monday night. Filming was in Whitefish and Glacier National Park. Not a fan of the show, but good for the valley!
