RE: Notice of Big Sky Economic Development Trust Fund Grant Award for Profitable Ideas Inc. (PIE)
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 $40,000.00 from the Montana Department of Commerce – Big Sky Economic Development Trust Fund (BSTF) Program to assist Profitable Ideas, Inc. This award, effective July 19, 2018, is for Profitable Ideas, Inc., to be reimbursed on eligible wages that will enable the business to create eight (8) 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
key 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 to be stronger and more competitive for our next generation of entrepreneurs. I want to personally thank you for partnering with the state 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
