Montana Developmental Center land survey expected to begin soon

A survey of Montana Developmental Center land that county and state officials need to better understand how they might repurpose the facility will likely begin in March, a state official said.

Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation “is in the process of getting this work under contract,” according to a statement provided Jan. 30 by Gov. Steve Bullock’s Press Secretary Marissa Perry.

The two-phase project will comprise an “extensive” title search followed by a field survey to identify and separate the parcels identified in the first phase, her email states.
