Butte-Silver Bow to hear reports from economic development mill recipients; bid opening scheduled in coming weeks

During the June 4, 2025 meeting, the committee chair announced that recipients of economic development mill funds would present reports to the Economic Development Committee and that a bid opening related to this fiscal year's projects is scheduled in the near term.

The chair told listeners that "next week, we will have the reports given by the recipients of economic development Milleavy funds from the last fiscal year," and that applicants who received funds should expect formal notification to present. He said the committee will hold a special meeting to review projects and that applicants for the current fiscal year's mill monies should be prepared to submit applications soon.

The chair also referenced a forthcoming bid opening on projects funded during the current fiscal cycle but the exact date was unclear in the meeting record. In the transcript the chair said, "the following week on the 20 fifth, I believe, or the eighteenth, '20 fifth, or the eighteenth," and later described the total available mill as "a hundred and $6,000 1 mill this current budgetary cycle." Because the remarks included multiple possible dates and a garbled mill amount, the exact bid-opening date and the precise mill-dollar figure are not specified here beyond the chair's statements.

Council Secretary Barb was identified as the contact who will notify prior grant recipients about presentation schedules. The chair invited potential applicants to submit timely applications for this year's mill allocations and said the committee will schedule a special meeting to review the projects.

No formal motions or votes were recorded on the mill program at the June 4 meeting; the announcements were informational and procedural.
