Opportunity knocking: Big Sky Economic Development hopes to boost opportunity fund

Yellowstone County’s economic development agency is asking its members to help grow a pot of money that has been earmarked to spur future job growth.

Big Sky Economic Development’s http://www.bigskyeda-edc.org/ board of directors established the Big Sky Opportunity Fund in 2009, using $440,000 in proceeds from the sale of the former Montana Dakota Utilities building in downtown Billings. Big Sky ED purchased the building as MDU moved to its new headquarters on Southgate Drive.

The agency then resold the property to the General Services Administration as part of a complex plan to assemble real estate for the new $80 million federal courthouse which opened recently.

Big Sky ED’s board hopes to expand the opportunity fund to $1.5 million over the next three to five years.
