RE: Notice of Big Sky Economic Development Trust Fund Grant Award for Zinovo, LLC
Dear Mayor Andrus:
Congratulations! On behalf of the State of Montana, it is my pleasure to notify you that the City of
Bozeman has been awarded up to $70,000.00 from the Montana Department of Commerce — Big Sky
Economic Development Trust Fund (BSTF) Program to assist Zinovo, LLC. This award, effective
December 1, 2017, is for Zinovo, LLC to purchase equipment, software, and lease rate reduction that
will enable the business to create 14 net new BSTF eligible jobs within one year.
My administration's Main Street Montana business plan is built on the idea that public-private
partnerships are keys to growing Montana's economy. Every project funded through BSTF is a step
toward the plan's goals of creating opportunities for today's workforce and being stronger and more
competitive for our next generation of entrepreneurs. I want to personally thank you for partnering with
the State of Montana to create jobs for Montanans.
The City of Bozeman will be contacted directly with more information in the coming weeks by the BSTF
staff. If you should have any questions, please contact the Division Administrator, Sean Becker. Sean
can be reached at(406) 841-2707 or by email at seanbeckergmt.gov.
Again, congratulations and good luck on the successful completion of your project.
Sincerely,
Governor
STEVE BULLOCK
