Boulder City Council enthusiastically support MHP move

The Boulder City Council passed a resolution Monday night “enthusiastically” supporting the Montana Highway Patrol moving its operations to the former Montana Development Center campus.

The campus has been vacant for several years and the city, as well as Jefferson County and the Jefferson Local Development Corporation, have worked toward future reuse of the 48 acre property on the south end of the city. 

The Highway Patrol is looking at the north campus, which is currently owned by the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services. Legislation is making its way through the Legislature to  transfer the property to the Department of Justice, which is one of several steps needed to facilitate the move by the Highway Patrol.
