The Montana Pro Rodeo Hall and Wall of Fame has officially expressed “our support for the city of Boulder and Jefferson County, with their vision and pursuit of a Western Heritage Center, to be built in their community,” according to a letter dated May 17, signed by Bill Williams, the organization’s board president, and addressed to Jefferson County Commissioner Leonard Wortman.
The letter follows an April 5 visit by board members of the Billings-based organization. They met with Jefferson County officials in Boulder that day to discuss taking part in an economic development project proposed to be sited near the I-15 interchange.
The April 5 meeting wasn’t the first discussion between the organization and the county, but it was the first time the organization sent people to Boulder for a look around. The group also visited Jefferson County Recreation Park, where county officials have suggested the possibility of building an indoor arena as part of any development.
