RE: Notice of Big Sky Economic Development Trust Fund Grant Award for MeatEater, Inc.
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 $50,000.00 from the Montana Department of Commerce – Big Sky Economic Development Trust Fund
(BSTF) Program to assist MeatEater, Inc. This award, effective January 16, 2019, is for MeatEater, Inc. to
purchase equipment, furniture, fixtures and wage reimbursement that will enable the business to create ten 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 Sean Becker, Bureau Chief of the Business Assistance Bureau.
Sean can be reached at 406- 841-2707 or by email at seanbecker@mt.gov.
Again, congratulations and good luck on the successful completion of your project.
Sincerely,
STEVE BULLOCK
Governor
