*DMP HIRES FULL-TIME BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR;*

*PAM UDALL RETURNS HOME TO MONTANA FOR NEW CHALLENGE*



 With an unprecedented level of investment taking place in Downtown
Missoula, the Downtown Missoula Partnership (DMP) has added a full-time
Business Development Director to its staff. Pam Udall will commence her
role as the newest employee on Monday, September 18.



Originally from Ronan, Mont., Udall earned a B.A. in Communications from
the University of Montana, and then embarked upon a 25-year career in
communications and program start-ups in Montana, Texas and Nevada.



She returns home to Missoula from UNLV, where she helped launch the
university’s first School of Medicine. Prior to that Udall served for 10
years as the media and PR director for the Texas Medical Association. She
also served on the team that started the Texas Lottery in the 1990s.



Udall will be responsible for tracking investment and business activity in
Downtown Missoula, formalizing business recruitment strategies,
strengthening connections with Missoula’s economic development partners,
deploying economic impact and community opinion analyses, and managing the
Downtown business and property inventories.



“Investing in a more robust business development program has been a primary
goal of Downtown Missoula leadership,” said Linda McCarthy, Executive
Director of the Downtown Missoula Partnership, “and the ability to attract
a UM alumni with a significant history of start-up experience is a real
benefit for our Downtown and our organization.



Udall will provide business recruitment and retention services, work with
developer and property owners to fill vacant spaces, target locally-owned
and regional retail and food & beverage businesses, as well as technology
start-ups and office tenants for all the new development taking place.



Currently Downtown Missoula is seeing a significant investment in
commercial and residential development, as well as public infrastructure
and services expansions. More than $850 million dollars of public, private
and transportation investments are taking place in the heart of Missoula,
thanks to the implementation of the Downtown Master Plan.

newest employee, visit the office at 218 East Main, or call 406-543-4238.
