MSE cuts workforce in half, leaves complex in south Butte empty

Cash-strapped MSE Technology Applications Inc. has shed half its workforce, and its remaining 25 engineers and technicians are leaving the sprawling facility just south of Butte and moving Uptown.

The decision follows mounting, unpaid bills — including taxes and utilities — and an area bank selling a large portion of debt on the once-thriving industrial and technology complex to a Texas financial firm for what appears to be $1.4 million to $1.6 million.
