Community Development
Strong community development lays the groundwork for sustainable economic growth by enhancing the quality of life needed to attract and retain a talented workforce and innovative industries. In Butte-Silver Bow, this means blending our historic charm with modern amenities to create a thriving and vibrant future.
Our approach to community development focuses on thoughtful planning, collaborative partnerships, supporting impactful projects, and securing grants that drive redevelopment and placemaking.
Together, we’re building a stronger, more vibrant Butte for generations to come.
