Board hears prospect from explosive-targets manufacturer; safety setbacks noted
Summary
A manufacturer of explosive shooting targets (Tannerite) is considering a multi-phase move to Deer Lodge County requiring large acreage and significant safety setbacks; the board discussed facility size (~$7M) and setback needs but received no formal application.
Bill Everett described interest from a company that manufactures explosive shooting targets and related products and said the company is considering a first-phase facility on roughly 50 acres (part of a larger ~100-acre parcel). Everett said the company needs substantial setbacks for safety and that the first-phase facility could cost about $7 million.
Board members did not act on a formal request but discussed site suitability and setback considerations for explosive materials. No grant or loan request was presented at the July 8 meeting; Everett framed the prospect as part of a broader pipeline of manufacturers the board is courting.
