I was just going to post this! That's awesome for the town being listed like that! I was surprised to see the 28% increase in small businesses! It's great to see a Montana community growing so rapidly! Hopefully, this doesn't attract any more of those Californians.

The actual rankings had towns like Durango, Jackson Hole, and Laramie amongst others on there.
