Federal Property Transfer

Summary

Sen. Daines wants to hand Bozeman’s federal building over to the city, and that could reshape downtown and the city’s bottom line. If the deal comes with funding and a clear reuse plan, it’s a chance to control a key property; if not, Bozeman could inherit a costly old building. Watch the terms—not just the handoff.
