Boulder out of the running for Cowboy Hall of Fame

Boulder is not among the finalists for the new home of the Montana Cowboy Hall of Fame. That bit of news was shared by Jefferson County Commissioner Leonard Wortman when the Boulder Development Fund (BDF) Board met May 2.

According to Wortman, the Cowboy Hall of Fame board said they are working with site finalists Dillon and the Great Falls CMR Museum. Wortman said he wrote to the board asking them to give reasons for the decision and urging them to reconsider including Boulder.

On another topic, the board recommended that the City of Boulder send a portion of the bill for the Downtown Master Plan effort to the Montana Department of Commerce for reimbursement from the $500,000 grant approved last year by the legislature and governor.
