Butte TIFID Board puts approval of funding for a 8,000-square-foot, $920,000 building for ammo company, A-Square, Inc. on hold.

Plans to approve or deny a 8,000-square-foot, $920,000 building in the Tax Increment Financing District west of town are on indefinite hold after ammunition company owner Arthur Alphin pulled himself out of a special TIFID meeting Wednesday.

The board scheduled the meeting to gather a consensus on whether to recommend the project to the Butte-Silver Bow Council of Commissioners, who also planned a special meeting Wednesday night to address the issue.
