It is through your partnership and collaboration that we are able to help build a successful business community and help enrich the community we live and work. As I have stated in the past, it is my strong belief that working together we can help one another succeed. It has been a wonderful experience serving as your president the last several months and I look forward to the next several. During this time I have had the privilege of working with an exceptional board of directors who are all very engaged and dedicated. I have also had the pleasure of working closely with the Chamber and the Convention & Visitors Bureau staff. Marko Lucich, Alysha Blaskovich, Cheryl Ackerman and Maria Pochervina are all experts in their fields and are true assets to our organization. I would also like to mention the hard working volunteers, ambassadors and summer staff that help make our Chamber, CVB and Visitor Center a success. Thanks to everyone for all your hard work. We have been very busy this year completing projects and goals we set forth in our Strategic Planning Session for the Butte Chamber of Commerce and our marketing plan for the Butte CVB. We are making great strides with our membership efforts and benefits, Retail Committee Partnership, tournament/hospitality efforts, social media and website activities, as well as promoting Butte as a great place to visit for its wonderful history, attractions, festivals, outdoor recreation, shopping, dining, lodging and so much more. If you would like more information on how to become more involved with the BSB Chamber of Commerce, please let us know. There are numerous opportunities to take advantage of advertising and marketing for your business, including networking events such as ribbon cuttings and business card socials, as well as rewarding volunteer opportunities are available.

Topics that were discussed at this year’s meeting were Media coverage, Adopt-a-Lot, recycling, Mainstreet activities, Alley Rally, NCAT “E-Waste” Days and neighborhood/organization clean-ups. Great input from all attendees at the meeting set a solid foundation for this year’s campaign. The Butte-Silver Bow Urban Forest Board and the Montana State University Extension Office developed a tree planting guide to assist residents in the selection and planting of trees in our climate. Included in the guide is a voucher worth $50 toward the purchase of a tree suitable for planting in a boulevard or visible front yard location. For further information regarding the tree planting campaign, adopting a lot or anything else that pertains to Beautifying Butte, contact the Butte Chamber of Commerce at 406-723-3177.

Chamber Report
2013 • Butte Chamber: report -
Customer Service Training: The Butte-Silver Bow Chamber of Commerce hosted Bill Drury’s “A Passion for Service” seminars on May 8, 2013. One hundred twenty eight people signed up for the seminars. Over the last 10 years, 400 of the Fortune 500 companies have sent attendees through the lively half-day customer service workshops. Attendees from businesses, both large and small, gave rave reviews and the feedback has been fantastic.
The Chamber of Commerce also provided Superhost Training for all frontline employees who work directly with tourists on May 22. This training was presented by the Montana Office of Tourism and was well received by all who were in attendance. Hospitality Rooms at all Major Sporting Events: The Butte-Silver BowChamber of Commerce Hospitality Committee, in partnership with Advantage Butte, the Butte Civic Center, Maroon Athletic Center and Montana Tech, provides first-class hospitality rooms at all high school tournaments and other major sporting events. Coaches, officials, school administrators/ personnel and volunteers are treated to exceptional food and Butte hospitality while they are attending these events. The hospitality rooms are second to none, and people throughout Montana have commented that they are the best hospitality rooms in the state and they look forward to coming back to Butte for their events. All-Star Classic: The Butte-Silver Bow Chamber of Commerce hosted the 5th annual “Southwest Montana All-Star Classic” at the Montana Tech HPER Complex on March 12. The HPER was filled to capacity. The boys and girls treated the fans in attendance to a thrilling evening of basketball excitement. The proceeds from this game help to defray expenses of all of the hospitality rooms for all tournaments that Butte receives during the course of the year. On behalf of the Butte Chamber of Commerce, we would like to thank Don Peoples Jr. for bringing the idea of this classic to the Chamber and helping us to recognize the outstanding basketball players from Southwest Montana. In addition to great basketball games, cheers were led by the Butte High School and Butte Central High School cheer squads. The Butte High School Band, Anaconda High School Band and the Anaconda Drum Line provided musical entertainment during the evening. The national award winning Dynamic Dance and Tumbling Academy provided two superb half time performances. Whenever our community comes together in this manner, it is a win-win for everyone involved.

The Butte Local Development Corporation is pleased to partner with the Butte Chamber of Commerce and the Butte Local Government to provide this Butte-Silver Bow annual Community Report to our local citizens and others in southwest Montana. This past year has seen quite a bit of activity in various areas of economic development throughout Butte. The BLDC continues to work closely with the Chamber and local government. This partnership has proven to be successful for our community. We at the BLDC hope that you find the information in this report informative and educational. The BLDC is the designated lead economic development entity for ButteSilver Bow and has been in existence for 44 years, the second oldest economic development entity in Montana. We are a 501(c)6 non-profit organization with a 17-member board of directors. We have contracts with the local government to do economic activities, along with loan administration for the Urban Revitalization Agency, Tax Increment Financing Industrial District, and Anaconda-ARCO Loan fund. We regularly work with all types of business in Butte - start-ups, expansions, retentions and recruitments. We also administer 11 different loan funds of our own to help meet the financial needs of our local business community. Our loan funds work in conjunction with monies from other local financial institutions to meet the needs of our clients. I would like to encourage you to review the new demographic information contained in this report. It is a true indicator that Butte is growing and its economy is strengthening. Butte’s population has grown for the 6th consecutive year for a growth rate of 2.7% over this time period. Our average annual employment rate in 2012 exceeds that of 2007 when the recession started. Our per capita income continues to grow. Butte-Silver Bow has the fourth highest per capita income of the seven most populous counties, only behind Yellowstone, Cascade and Lewis & Clark. The effort to diversify our economy is paying off. Butte-Silver Bow was able to weather the last recession and is continuing to grow. We see continued growth in the foreseeable future. The recent announcement of the new joint venture, Montana Precision Products, between SeaCast of Montana and GE Aviation will help create additional jobs. The new developments taking place in the eastside: Water & Environmental Technology’s new building, Tony Olson’s new training center and microbrewery, and Community Counseling & Correction Service’s construction of a new location for the Montana Chemical Dependency Center, helps to employ local construction workers. The new Holiday Inn Express will provide additional guest rooms for visitors staying in Butte. The opening of several new retail outlets, Walgreens, AutoZone, Rue21 and the Dairy Queen on Harrison Avenue, provides us with new shopping and eating opportunities. The new airfare structure put in place by Delta Airlines helps to increase the passenger traffic through Bert Mooney Airport. Additional residential development has also taken place throughout Butte. All these factors are great indicators of a strong and growing local economy. We want to express our appreciation to all those local businesses that support the BLDC through their memberships. You can see a list of our members later in this document. We would also like to thank the great businesses in Butte that employ our friends and neighbors. The wages they receive are circulated throughout our community to help support our economy. We look forward to working hard for Butte during this next year and many years to come. With everyone’s concerted effort we will continue to see Butte prosper and grow. Sincerely,
Jim Smitham Executive Director
Tom Downey President of the Board

in the state that are qualified to offer this program. The SSBCI offered small businesses low interest loans to match commercial loans that may be needed to meet the business’ financial needs. With the current interest rates, loans through this program may be available at approximately 3 - 3.5 %. During the year the BLDC processed and submitted several loan applications for area businesses. All of the loans were in partnership with other commercial financing. • Retail Committee - The BLDC established a Retail Committee to help strengthen and expand Butte’s retail sector. Data was obtained from two national firms on the amount of money flowing through the local retail sector. It also showed in which segments of the local retail market the demand exceeded the supply and which the supply exceeded the demand. These market imbalances may provide business opportunities for our local merchants or encourage new businesses into our area. This committee merged with the Chamber’s Retail Committee in June and was included as part of the Action 2020 program. Five city-wide retail meetings were held at the Civic Center. Agenda items and discussion topics at the meetings included: national speaker on the Changing Face of Retail, review of latest local economic data, discussions on new marketing techniques, and testimonials from local business people on how they have adapted to meet market demands. The group also conducted a survey of the local merchants to determine important factors affecting their business. A customer survey will be conducted in the near future.

The BLDC also assisted in the financing of this new development. • Montana Aerospace Development Association (MADA) and Butte AeroTec Facility - The BLDC worked closely with MADA to promote the Butte AeroTec facility. During 2012 two international groups visited the site. Muroran Institute of Technology (MIT) Aerospace Plane Research Center (APRC) from Japan and the Trade Ministry of Austria. There was a media event held in June that attracted national coverage and resulted in multiple articles in international aerospace publications. Space Propulsion Group (SPG) completed their testing program for the US Air Force in 2012. They are currently awaiting funding for a second testing program which will be conducted at the Butte AeroTec facility. Other entities conducted testing programs during the year at the facility. Tests to determine the use of ammonia as a fuel for turbines in electric generation were completed. Also tests on component parts and systems for the Virgin Galactic commercial spaceship were undertaken.

2013 • Butte Chamber: report -
• Action 2020 - During the BLDC’s strategic planning meeting in February 2012 it was determined that a comprehensive development plan for the uptown area was needed. A working group was established. NorthWestern Energy funded a researcher to review the 11 existing studies on the uptown area and interviewed over 40 individuals to get their input. From this report, seven focus areas were established: • Marketing and Promotion • Destination Project • Ordinances/Tax Policy/Historic Preservation • Residential Development • URA – Establishment of New District • Financial Tools • Retail Business Retention/Expansion/Succession Planning Committees were established and work undertaken in the various areas. A report to the community on the Action 2020 was given on May 1, 2013 by Chief Executive Matt Vincent. • Montana Chemical Dependency Center (MCDC) - MCDC program, currently housed in the former county hospital, needs a new location in order to retain their certification. The current facility does not meet code and puts their program in jeopardy. Marko Lucich of the Chamber and Jim Smitham of the BLDC met several times with the local and state management of MCDC to evaluate their needs and establish their criteria to construct a new facility. We spoke with several local developers to make them aware of the project and determine their interest in the project. A RFP was issued on 7/10/12. C.C.C.S. responded to the RFP and was awarded the development contract. Construction of the new facility started in December 2012. Completion *Rick Edwards NorthWestern Energy

Silver Bow’s Mission
photo by: Cheryl Ackerman
Butte-Silver Bow strives to be the best community in which to work, live and raise a family. In order to accomplish that goal we promise to provide services to our entire community, citizens and businesses, in an efficient and effective manner. Message from the Chief Executive: I greatly appreciate the opportunity to be included in this second-annual Community Report, sponsored by the Butte-Silver Bow Chamber of Commerce. Likewise, I am excited to report there will be even greater opportunities ahead for Butte-Silver Bow and its citizens to work together in developing our future. Our local government and commissioners are here to serve you. With new individuals elected in both areas, now is the time for a fresh start. In the coming months, my administration will be inviting YOU – the community – to participate in a Community Vision process. In years past, most of our city’s biggest decisions were made by government officials, businesses or corporations, largely leaving out input from the majority of our residents. I am committed to working to better understand the challenges and desires of Butte’s citizens through a new type of community vision-action planning process. There are already members of our community actively moving forward initiatives that will set the stage for this process. For example, Action 2020 is focusing on the uptown area by addressing needs in residential development, policies and financial tools to attract additional investment to the area. The larger community process will involve citizens from all our city-county areas and walks of life. This “Vision Butte” will not be the same old planning process of years past, public meeting after public meeting. Instead, it will utilize new, fun and engaging planning techniques to ensure the public’s voice is heard, prior to any decisions being made. What is the best version of Butte possible? More importantly, “how do we get there?” I’m looking forward to hearing your questions and answers. Working together, there’s nothing we cannot achieve. I appreciate your support and participation in envisioning Butte’s future! Sincerely,
Matt Vincent Matt Vincent Butte-Silver Bow Chief Executive

Community and Business Development The Community and Business Development Department works in conjunction with the Butte-Silver Bow Chamber of Commerce, Butte Local Development Corporation, Port of Montana and the Bert Mooney Airport to improve economic opportunities for our citizens and enhance the community in which we all live.

Local Government
One of the main tools used by the Community Development Department is Tax Increment Financing. Butte-Silver Bow, the city-county local government, has three tax increment districts including the Urban Renewal Agency (URA), Restoration and Revitalization Agency (RRA) and Tax Increment Financing Industrial District (TIFID) also known as the Montana Connections Business Development Park. Tax Increment Financing allows a district to capture increased incremental taxes and use the increment to address blight and infrastructure issues within the district. The URA and RRA are able to focus on the Uptown Butte area where many of our historical structures exist. Through both grants and loans these agencies have assisted private land owners in restoring buildings for economic purposes. The URA is also undertaking a large sidewalk replacement project in the next year prior to the end of the district in June of 2014. There is also a movement to ensure this valuable tool is not lost to the uptown area by creating a new URA with new boundaries. The new district is targeted to be in place when the existing district sunsets. The RRA, which is the eastside of uptown Butte along Park Street, is seeing tremendous growth this year with the addition of the Montana Chemical Dependency Center currently being built by CCCS, and the new microbrewery and meeting space being built by Tony and Theresa Olson. Montana Connections Park has completed the construction of a waste water collection system that is connected to the metro plant. This year construction on a new bridge over the Union Pacific Railroad will be started and is expected to last through the next two summers. This project realigns German Gulch Road and will be much safer for the increased truck, employee and residential traffic in the area. Montana Connections Park is the home of REC Silicon, Montana Precision Products, (a new joint venture between GE Aviation and SeaCast), FedEx Freight, Old Dominion, Scoular Grain and the Port of Montana.

Community Profile
Originally chartered as the Montana State School of Mines, Montana Tech has evolved into a dynamic institution composed of the School of Mines & Engineering; College of Letters, Sciences, & Professional Studies; Highlands College; Graduate School; and the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology. Prior to 1951, the college offered Bachelor of Science degrees in only five areas. Today, the college offers 10 certificate programs, 17 associate degrees, 23 bachelors, and 10 masters programs. The institution which now has an enrollment of over 2,800 students, provides these graduates with the knowledge and skills necessary for successful lives and careers, conducts basic and applied research, and provides related services to the citizens of Montana and beyond. College offers associate degrees and certificate programs, continuing education, and customized training. The student body presents a national and global snapshot with over 39 states and 14 foreign countries represented. Montana Tech emphasizes teamwork, collaboration, and hands-on learning and has a long-standing reputation for producing outstanding graduates. Overlooking the city from the shoulder of Big Butte, Montana Tech’s north campus can be seen for miles. Its tree-shaded perimeter encloses both the stately buildings of the institution’s past and the modern facilities reflecting its present and its future. Since its inception, Montana Tech has come a long way. The university has maintained an onward and upward tradition, which has earned it a reputation as one of the finest science, engineering, and technical colleges in the country. The exceptional job placement rate of graduates and the success stories of alumni,
combined with the low cost of attendance in a highly personalized environment, attest to both quality and value. Stressing a deep focus on achievement, Montana Tech provides the opportunity for students to be IN DEMAND.

Advantage Butte
• 2013
PROJECT OVERVIEW Advantage Butte provides economic development for Butte through the sponsorship of sports events in the community. It is their plan to use $20,000 provided by Butte-Silver Bow to fund tournaments already committed to Butte for the fall of 2012 and spring of 2013. In 2011/2012 they used Economic Development Grant money to bring five tournaments and a state track meet to Butte. This year’s funding will allow them to assist five more events in the community.
MISSION STATEMENT Our purpose is to enhance the Butte economy through promoting and supporting sporting and related events in Butte.
BACKGROUND We recognized that sporting events bring millions of dollars annually into our community. Most of these events can be self-supporting. Many of the potential sponsors of these events, however, lack the resources to provide some of the initial funding to attract and promote the events or lack the resources The easiest way to measure the success Advantage Butte has had is to cover potential shortfalls. By bringing together broad-based support from the number of tournaments hosted since the organization began in 2004 throughout the community, we can provide the financial resources to allow through the spring of 2012 that number stands at over 100. The finanevent sponsors to compete effectively in the state and regional market. cial impact of the more than 100 tournaments is just over $24 Million dollars added to the local economy. Advantage Butte plans to host at least Scope 10 tournaments in 2012/2013. Advantage Butte Events to Date for 2012-2013: Early discussions with the local option bed tax (TBID) committee are set Sept 29-Oct 1 NRA Finals Rodeo Butte CC for mid October. Advantage Butte has no financial commitment from the Oct 27-29 District 11/12 C Volleyball MAC TBID at this time. Nov 3-5 SW A Div Volleyball MAC Since Advantage Butte is a 100 percent volunteer organization, all Jan 25-26 AA Speech&Debate Butte High money will go to the successful bidding and hosting of tournaments. Feb 14-19 Dist 11/12C Boys & Girls BB MAC Advantage Butte has always relied on donations from the Butte busiFeb 23-26 SW A Boys & Girls BB MAC ness community to create economic development. Using Economic Feb 28 March 2 Class A Girls State BB Butte CC Development Grant money allows the business community to use their dollars to assist other worthwhile projects in our town. In the highly March 7-9 Girls’ State B Basketball Butte CC competitive bidding process, the Economic development grant money March 7-9 Boys’ State B Basketball Butte CC can be the difference between winning and losing a bid. More and more local businesses are finding it hard to come up with the funds year Proposal Budget after year to keep Advantage Butte successful and the economic grant Advantage Butte Events to Date for 2012-2013: money can relieve the pressure on these local businesses. Feb 13-16 Dist 11/12C Boys & Girls BB MAC $6000 The success of Advantage Butte has been noticed around the state with Feb 20-23 Div West A Boys & Girls BB MAC $6000 communities like Billings, Great Falls, Missoula and Bozeman/Belgrade FEB 28 Mar 2 Girls’ State A Basketball Butte CC $2000 all starting up organizations like ours. The competition has never been March 7-9 Boys/Girls State B Basketball Butte CC $6000 greater and the positive economic impact a tournament has on communities is forcing us to all get more competitive and creative. Total $20,000 For these reasons, Advantage Butte is requesting a $20,000 grant from the economic development mill levy to fund five of the ten events they Note: Funds received will not be spent on wages, salaries or administrative will host in 2012-2013. exp. The dollars noted above pay for the cost of the tournament. ECONOMIC IMPACT Travel Montana has established a straightforward formula to assist communities in measuring the economic impact that sporting events generate. Each team member is valued at $100 per day. The average team is 18. Each team in the Class B and C bring 50 fans which are also valued at $100 per day each. Class A and AA bring larger crowds depending on the event. For the basketball model, they will use 75 fans. Travel Montana does not have a formula developed to value large tournaments such as track meets and wrestling, therefore we used one fan per athlete in the formula.
Qualifications Advantage Butte is operated by a board of directors made up of local businesses that are members of the group. Ron Davis - Chairman, Desiree Shogren - Vice Chair, Brad Spear - CPA, Kami Johnson - Treasurer and Secretary. Advantage Butte’s successes over the past five years include almost $21 million in economic impact to our community while hosting almost 100 tournaments.
Tournament bids and contact committee is chaired by Ron Davis. Ron is owner and General Manager of KBOW and KOPR radio stations. With Using this conservative economic formula, Advantage Butte has estimat- 32 years of experience broadcasting radio and television sports, Ron is well-known in the sports community.

Butte-Silver Bow Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) Tourism Business Improvement District (TBID) By Maria Pochervina
Butte Convention & Visitors Bureau Director and Executive Secretary of the Tourism Business Improvement District Whenever I talk about what I do and how it is done, I like to preface it by explaining there are two pots of money designated to promote tourism for Butte-Silver Bow. Pot No. 1: Bed tax dollars which funds the CVB is collected by hoteliers in the amount of seven percent -- three percent goes to the state general fund with the remaining four percent designated for tourism promotion. The portion of bed tax dollars coming back to Butte is around $80,000, give or take a thousand or two. Because bed tax dollars are “tax dollars,” there are very specific rules and regulations on how and where the monies can be spent, primarily to attract the non-resident visitor. Pot No. 2: TBID is an allocation of $1 each hotelier in Butte-Silver Bow collects. A board of directors oversees the monies and subsequent expenditures. The primary purpose of this fund is to increase occupancy for our local hotels. Grant applications are available at the Chamber. Once a grant application is received, the applicant is invited to a meeting of the board to give a brief presentation and field any questions the TBID board may have for clarification. The CVB allocates $15,000 to keep our Visitor Center staffed seven days a week during the peak of the tourist season. Other projects and promotion areas we have spent CVB dollars on or have plans to spend these monies are: • New billboard designs on the three signs promoting Butte • Re-printing of our Visitor Guide and Attraction Sheet/Map • Advertising in the tourism regions of Southwest Montana and Glacier Country • Visitor Guide placement in Certified Folder racks

Recreation Area Lakes and Rivers
The Big Hole River is the first choice of any Butte-area angler, with its wide variety of hatches and hungry trout. Just 30 minutes south of Butte on I-15, there is a chance at Rainbows, Browns, Cutthroat, Brook trout, Whitefish, and Fluvial Arctic Grayling. Summer fishing is highlighted with the start of salmon flies in the beginning of June, with Golden Stones quick to follow. Terrestrials are abundant throughout the summer and a great choice for top water action.
Nymphing can always be good with a variety of flies like pheasant tails, princes, stonefly nymphs, and caddis pupa. Keep your eyes open for a variety of mayfly and caddis hatches as well. Tricos and spruce moths are the highlight to the end of summer. The spruce moth can be imitated with a light-tan colored elk-hair caddis in a size #10, #12, or #14. The Big Hole can also produce a lot of fish on many different streamers. Sculpzilla, Buggers, Dungeons, Lil Kim, Butte Rats, and Skiddish Smolts are just a few great choices. The “Spillway” can be an enjoyable fishery and it is only 20 minutes west of Butte on Interstate 90. This is the start of the Clark Fork River and is located right at the Warm Springs exit. The draw to the spillway is the chance to catch huge rainbows and browns. It is typical tailwater fishing here with small nymphs, such as pheasant tails, scuds, and midges. There is occasional top water action with a variety of attractor patterns, and at the end of July it offers great hopper fishing.

Georgetown Lake is about 45 minutes west of Butte on I-90. The biggest hatch on the lake takes place around the Fourth of July when the damsel nymphs start to swim to the shore. Any damsel nymph can be fished with great success during this period. The damsel adult can be fished as well, doing best in the morning and evenings. The damsel is followed by a huge caddis that is a size #6 or #8. Fish a large Goddard caddis or attractor pattern well into the evening during this hatch. Skate them across the surface and hold on. Throughout the summer you can also try chronomids, leeches, and buggers. Rainbows are the primary fish caught, but there is a chance for brookies and browns. Butte is the intersection to all of the best water you would ever want to fish in Southwest Montana. The Beaverhead, Madison, Jefferson, Missouri, Rock Creek, are a few more options that are super close to Butte. There are many more rivers, lakes, and small creeks that would keep you fishing for a lifetime. Mike Marcum owns the StoneFly Fly Shop in Butte, which has up-to-date information and a large fly selection. 406-494-0707; thestonefly.com

Skiing

When it comes to skiing in southwest Montana, the challenge is which set of skis will you strap on for the day: Cross country? Back country? Skinny skate skis? Downhill skis? Telemark skis? Alpine touring skis? Southwest Montana offers a treasure-trove of skiing options. People lucky enough to live here go where the snow is good. One option is the Discovery Ski Area, west of Anaconda. A family-run area, it’s known for it expansive variety of terrain — from beginner (toddlers can learn here) and intermediate to the hair-raising double-black diamond runs on the famous “Back Side.” And when those ferocious storms blow through, making roads slick and visibility frighteningly poor, you can bet the next day, when the sun breaks out and all is right with the world, that the deep powder skiing will be unforgettable at Discovery. And because the mountain can accommodate a crowd, you’ll likely have some runs all to yourself. www.skidiscovery.com Further south from Butte is the Maverick Mountain area, located west of Dillon, http://skimaverick.com/ Like Discovery, it’s a locally owned operation that caters to families as well as hardcore skiers. Maverick is located just off the Pioneer Mountain Scenic Byway in the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest. Set in the Pioneer Mountains, Maverick boasts exceptional skiing and unparalleled views. The terrain accommodates novice and expert skiers in a relaxed
Southwest Montana also features a host of cross –country ski options, from the privately operated Homestake Lodge, located atop Homestake Pass http://www.homestakelodge.com/ to the Mount Haggin Nordic Ski Area, south of Anaconda and west of Butte, or the Moulton Trails just a few miles north of Butte. The Mile High Nordic Ski Education Foundation maintains the Mount Haggin and Moulton Trails visit http://milehighnordic.org/.
The Mount Haggin trails are located on Mill Creek Road (SH 274) 11 miles south of Highway 1, near Anaconda. At Mount Haggin, the foundation maintains approximately 20 km of groomed crosscountry ski trails in cooperation with the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks. Approximately 10 km are groomed for skate skiing, and 15 km are groomed for classic skiing. Ski trails can also be used as access to backcountry skiing along the Continental Divide. The trail system is groomed once or twice per week by volunteers using snowmobiles and Yellowstone Track grooming equipment. Please no pets on the trails here; visit the dog friendly trails at Homestake Lodge and Moulton. Trails are also groomed at Moulton Reservoir north of Butte in cooperation with the U.S. Forest Service. The trails here are generally not groomed to the same standards as at Mount Haggin but there is excellent skiing and the trails are dog friendly. For those who prefer to haul a backpack and put climbing skins on their telemark skis, the options for back country travel are endless in southwestern Montana, with so much public land available. However, be aware of avalanche danger and other hazards of back country exploration in winter. A good place to get information for any outdoor adventures in southwestern Montana is the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest website at http://www.fs.usda.gov/bdnf. flat area and come to a parking area called Four Corners, which is marked by two newer latrines. Keep driving, and turn right on Forest Road 8635, which will take you to the area’s famous Spire Rock. You can see Spire Rock from Four Corners — just look to the northwest.
Rock Climbing Created by a geologic explosion that resulted in the Boulder Batholith, the upheaval created lots of exposed rocks, thus making for a wealth of good rock climbing in the Butte area. A particular favorite is in the Whitetail recreation area, east of Butte. Take Interstate 90 east toward Whitehall, and exit at the Pipestone Exit. Turn left, go under the overpass, then turn left again and follow the dirt road for several miles. You’ll climb into a
Spire Rock is a compilation of many different climbs ranging from 5.7 to 5.11 in difficulty, with a variety of multi-pitch and sport climbing routes available. The semi-arid almost photo by: Gene Rawson desert-like area that surrounds Spire Rock could be compared to Moab, Utah — except the soil is creamcolored, not red. The area also plays host to a variety of other recreationalists — mountain bikers, four-wheelers, motorcyclists, hikers, rockhounds and horseback riders. So be ready to share the resource. Of all the guidebooks available, “Butte’s Climbing Guide” by the late Dwight Bishop, a noted climber and mountain biker from Butte, is one to have for rock climbers new to the area. It’s available on amazon.com, but sometimes it’ll show up in used book stores in Butte — if you’re lucky.

Transportat Port of Montana 2013 Community Report The Port of Montana is one of Butte-Silver Bow’s most significant assets. With its strategic location at the juncture of I-90 and I-15 and the BNSF and Union Pacific Railways, the Port offers unique distribution capabilities augmented with easy transfers from truck to rail and to/from a full-service facility. Automobile, agriculture, building materials, fuels, metal and steel, ore and many other industries distribute from the Port to across North America and to destinations beyond.
As the only Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) General Purpose Warehouse within a five state radius the Port provides a unique service. The Port of Montana’s FTZ designation means foreign goods can be stored for an unlimited time without inventory tax. Bonded warehouse services allow for consolidating or separating shipments for further distribution. Enclosed and extensive outside storage is available for dry bulk or liquid products. Exciting new improvements at the Port of Montana include replacing one of the Port’s aging truck scales, installing a video security system, and retrofitting the warehouse.
Annual Number of Rail Cars Served 2,387 Annual Number of Truckloads Over 3,200
Annual Distributions Autos Dustgard/Freezgard Ore Concentrate Lumber Fertilizer Aviation Fuel Steel Pipe Super Sacks
1,300 Railcars 28,728 tons 4,700,000 lbs. 6,122 units 10,444,000 lbs. 243,000 gal. 890,000 lbs. 4,480,000 lbs. Over 20,000
Contact Port of Montana Toll Free: 1-866-561-5065 kathy@portofmontana.org http://www.portofmontana.org
The original truck scales at the Port were installed in 1989 and were acquired as used equipment. Although one scale remains in certified working order, parts are increasingly difficult to find. A second scale was taken out of service in 2011. Bids were submitted for a new scale to replace it, and a local contractor completed installation in late November, 2012. To satisfy US Customs and Border Protection security requirements, a new video security system was installed throughout the facility. This system now records all traffic through the Port as well as activity within the Port boundaries. In order to accommodate local industry, 20,000 square feet of cold warehouse space was retrofitted with insulation and heating units. This space is currently leased to a local producer to handle their end distribution product. With all it offers in terms of location, transloading, distribution, warehousing, storage, its Foreign Trade Zone designation, and the ample land and industry-friendly zoning that is available in the adjacent Montana Connections Business Development Park, the Port of Montana plays a significant role in Butte-Silver Bow’s strategic positioning as a North American center of commerce and a worldwide distribution center.
