Whitehall, Montana’s landmark Borden’s Hotel gets ready for million-dollar makeover

A ceremony today will launch renovation plans for a vacant, landmark building https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bordens-Hotel/452989941441466 in Whitehall that is intended to provide new vitality to the city’s downtown.

The 11 a.m. signing of loan papers with Rocky Mountain Bank there will secure about $1.2 million of the money needed for the roughly $1.5 million renovation of the vacant Borden’s Hotel, said Tara Mastel, manager with the Jefferson Local Development Corp., which owns the building.

The building will seek federal certification in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program after the renovation is completed, Mastel said.
