Voices from the Community

The NMTC mean the world to us as an organization as we couldn’t have built a new Family Center without NMTC funding.

Project Description

After standing vacant for nearly a decade, the final lot leveled by a 2009 natural gas explosion is bringing new community benefits to downtown Bozeman. The new Osborne Building at 233 E. Main St. is an innovative reflection of Bozeman’s modern economy, with restaurant space, rental office space for nonprofits that serve low-income communities, and flexible office space for startups and small businesses. The concept for the new 33,000 sq. ft. building was developed by local businessmen Bryan Klein, Casey Durham, Chad Bottcher and Jamie Bottcher, who wanted to find a solution for the lot that would not only address a longstanding vacancy but also help meet community needs.
