==Economy==
While there are also some thriving local businesses in its downtown section, Mountain View derives a great deal of its activity from its position as a convenient stop-over along U.S. 60, for travelers coming to or from [[Springfield, Missouri|Springfield]], nearly two hours to the west, or exploring this section of the Ozarks. This strip has a number of retail and service businesses, including [[McDonald's]], [[Wal-Mart]], and Dollar General.
Other major employers in the area include Mountain View Lumber Company, Mountain View Healthcare, and Smith Flooring.<ref>https://mountainviewmo.com/about-us</ref>
