About Us

Dedicated to maintaining the unique small-town character of Columbia Falls and surrounding areas, we are a volunteer-based not for profit organization.

Our mission is building quality of life amenities in our area, acquiring the resources necessary to do it, and helping unite our local community in the cause.

The only pre-requisite for people contributing is doing! Our membership is made up of Do-ers – folks who are eager to make things happen.

We are led by a board of dedicated professionals, who make up our steering committee. The committee works closely with our contributing partners, supporters and administrative team to ensure the smooth overall running of all that is First Best Place.  Combined, this provides an excellent foundation for the exponential growth of our projects, each of which are fairly self-sufficient.
