In 2015 with Ordinance 1925, the North Seventh Avenue urban district was created and the Bozeman Midtown Urban Renewal District Plan adopted. The NSURB was renamed the Bozeman Midtown Urban Renewal Board (MURB) for the implementation and administration of the Bozeman Midtown urban renewal district. 391 Individuals appointed to the MURB shall have a demonstrated interest in the District or adjacent neighborhoods. Pursuant to MCA S 7-15-4234, the mayor, by and with the advice and consent of the City Commission, shall appoint the MURB, which shall consist of five voting members.

As a resident of the area I frequently walk, run, drive and bicycle across the district, crossing North 7th daily via those 399 various types of transportation. Based on that experience I have an understanding of the current issues and improvements in the district. In graduate school I lived in Manhattan, New York. This experience of living in a densely populated urban center that is firmly bound by physical limits (the rivers and ocean, density of bedrock)allows me to view the densification of Bozeman from a broad perspective. I believe I am well suited to read and understand guidelines and proposals and evaluate them based on the needs of the businesses, city, residents, and infrastructure.
