The First Best Place Task Force

is a grassroots organization seeking to promote economic development in the Columbia Falls area and to improve the quality of life for our community.

The vision is to promote Columbia Falls area, the longest living community in the Flathead Valley, as The First Best Place.

Glacier Discovery Square

Once the town square and commerce center of Columbia Falls, Glacier Discovery Square is destined to once again become the center of town, and the center of interest for visitors interested in learning the history and culture of Columbia Falls and Glacier National Park.
