CenturyLink relocates its main office for Montana and Wyoming market to Billings – Creates new partnership with Big Sky Economic Development

CenturyLink, in partnership with Big Sky Economic Development (BSED), has
agreed to relocate the company’s administrative office for the combined Montana and Wyoming market
to downtown Billings. CenturyLink’s new office will be located on the 21st floor of the Crowne Plaza
building. Because this is an administrative office, customers will continue to pay their bills and contact
customer service in the same ways they always have.

CenturyLink also recently became a Member Investor in the Big Sky Economic Development
Corporation, the agency’s private business group. On Aug. 30, BSED and the organization’s other
Member Investors will hold a reception to welcome CenturyLink to the community.

Jeremy Vannatta, BSED’s director of recruitment and marketing, expressed excitement at the company’s
decision to relocate its office to Billings.
"The entire time we worked with the crew from CenturyLink, we knew this company is first-class,"
Vannatta said. "We’re honored they chose Billings from which to base their Montana and Wyoming
operations, and look forward to a long working relationship with CenturyLink."

"We are excited to be in a market like Billings," added Jeremy Ferkin, CenturyLink’s vice president and
general manager for Montana and Wyoming. "Its diverse economic base and community make it a great
place for work and family."
