Attendance at BTAC a concern

A year ago, more than 30 people crowded into Boulder City Hall to attend one of the monthly Boulder Transition Advisory Committee meetings — and it was 20 below zero, said Jefferson County Commissioner Leonard Wortman.

This month, Wortman noted that of the 14 people at the BTAC meeting, now held via Zoom due to the pandemic, at least half were county officials or employees or with the Jefferson Local Development Corporation.

Wortman was concerned about the declining attendance by residents, in part because the county plans to have Helena-based Mosaic Architecture take a look at the two larger brick buildings on the south campus of the former Montana Development Center.
