Potlatch
Potlatch is a town in eastern Latah County, Idaho founded as a company town around what was once one of the world's largest white-pine lumber mills, the seat of the area's long timber-and-forest-products heritage in the foothills of the Palouse. Its life runs on timber and forest products, ranching and small farms, residential living, and the handful of businesses serving the surrounding country. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms (custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing) for the Potlatch area's timber, ranch, and local businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania. Distance is no barrier, and we add on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
