The MDT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program encourages and supports the participation of companies owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in transportation contracts.

Both the Old Trail Museum in Choteau and the Two Medicine Dinosaur Center in Bynum are members of the Montana Dinosaur Trail, a series of natural history museums across the state that preserve Montana’s prehistoric history. This sign is placed at the Bynum Dinosaur Center.

The Choteau Area Port Authority board, meeting via Zoom April 23, announced that videos promoting Choteau have been completed and are available for viewing on the CAPA and Choteau Chamber of Commerce Facebook pages.

The CAPA and the Choteau Tourism Business Improvement District hired freelance videographer and photographer Shayna Lloyd of Philipsburg, who does business as Montana Diaries, to produce the video. Lloyd visited Choteau several times last summer to interview business and community members for videos to promote Choteau to people who want to move here for the small-town lifestyle or to open or purchase a business here.

The video cost $2,500 and was paid for through a grant from the Montana Economic Developers Association (MEDA) with additional funding from CAPA and TBID.
