Two bidders present competing plans to buy Butte Business Development Center; council refers proposals to review committee
Summary
Two groups offered competing plans to buy 305 W. Mercury — a community‑focused coworking proposal from Mountain Heart Media and a redevelopment track record pitch from Urban Miners Collective — and the council voted 9–0 to refer both proposals to the Community Development review committee for recommendation.
Two prospective buyers presented competing plans on Nov. 12 to purchase the Butte Business Development Center at 305 West Mercury, and the Butte‑Silver Bow Council of Commissioners voted to refer both proposals to the Community Development Department review committee for a recommendation.
Karen Burns, the county's community development director, told commissioners the RFP was advertised Aug. 23, Aug. 30 and Sept. 6 and that staff received two complete, responsive proposals at the advertised purchase price of $450,000. "Both were deemed complete and responsive," Burns said, and the department asked the council to refer the proposals to the review committee so staff could return with a recommendation.
