Jefferson County and state officials appear to be making progress on resolving the future of the Montana Development Center’s remaining campus in Boulder – but there’s still a long road ahead before the facility can be put to new use.
At a meeting in Helena June 10, according to county and Boulder city representatives who participated, Sheila Hogan, director of the state Department of Public Health and Human Services, reported that a survey of the MDC property would be completed by June 30.
Besides revealing property lines, local officials say, the survey will make clear whether and how the multiple land parcels that comprise the campus can be sold or otherwise transferred to a new owner – critical information for the state as it considers its options for the property.
