Gianforte signs off on MHP move to Boulder

Gov. Greg Gianforte has signed off on an executive order allowing the transfer of the former Montana Development Center from the Department of Public Health and Human Services to the Department of Justice.

The order, signed April 12, concerns the 48-acre north campus in Boulder.  The plan is to move the Montana Highway Patrol headquarters to the city, which would bring more than 20 employees to Boulder. 

To celebrate the move, a meet-and-greet with the community is scheduled for April 22, 11 a.m. at Volunteer Hall at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds.
