Invest in Butte by Voting “Yes” on the Economic Development Mill

This spring on your ballot is an initiative to support the continuation of a program that has supported many of the businesses and events that many us care for in our community.  The “Economic Development Mill” is a 1-mill levy to support growth, activity, and development throughout our local economy and has delivered countless dollars of investment and jobs.  The mill was originally established in 1990 with the intent of supporting “Economic Development Purposes For A Five Year Period” and has been renewed ever since.  Originally the fund directly supported organizations like ours, the Butte Local Development Corporation (BLDC), and has since transitioned into a grant fund to provide critical funding for festivals, businesses, job growth, and economic activity within Butte.
