Which Is It?

In today's paper, Brett Doney of the Great Falls Developmental Authority says that the GFDA is now looking for another location for an industrial park. Evidently, the Great Bear Innovation Park north of Black Eagle is not "shovel ready", which is hampering efforts to lure businesses to Great Falls.

But, according to their website:

The GFDA Board recognizes the need to be prepared in these tough economic times and has recently changed its priorities from attracting companies to Great Falls to focusing on the needs of existing companies. GFDA will focus efforts on working with local government, regional partners, and private developers to have industrial sites ready to be prepared to capitalize on new opportunities when the economy improves.
[emphasis added].

I'm confused.

A group can have more than ONE priority, and this group should continue prioritizing new business. If you are confused, I suggest you make a phone call.

Anon 9:24 Mr. Doney has everyone confused he is like a very busy bumblebee going from flower to flower, but in his case he does not stay long enough to gather the nectar and therefore accomplishes NOTHING!

How long has Mr. Doney been in charge of the GFDA? How many new businesses have opened in Great Falls in that timeframe?
