Dear Mayor Andrus and City Commission:
tpl.org
It was a great pleasure and honor to celebrate the opening of Story Mill Community
Park on Saturday July 20, 2019. The community came out in force to see and enjoy
the new park and there was true celebration of this wonderful and enduring
community park.
Thank you, Mayor Andrus, for your thoughtful remarks during the park dedication
ceremony. This public-private partnership is a tribute to your leadership and that of
the other Commissioners. We are grateful for the many City departments and
employees who brought expertise and professionalism to the project including legal,
planning and engineering, finance, communications and, most especially, parks and
recreation. Mitch Overton and his staff—Addi Jadin, Thom White, Jamie Saitta,
Holly Crane and others bring a passionate commitment to managing our parks for the
enjoyment of Bozemanites of all ages -- but especially our growing youth.
Finally, thank you for honoring Trust for Public Land's project manager Maddy
Pope with the Key to the City. Over the past seven years, she has had the distinction
to work with residents from all across the community to gather ideas and vision for
Story Mill Community Park.
We are most grateful for the profound partnership with the City of Bozeman to create
Story Mill Community Park as an enduring legacy for the community of Bozeman.
Sincere y,
