Good Morning....
My wife and I just wanted to take a brief moment to express to you are enthusiastic support of
the Armory project.
This landmark effort - one that has been underway for a long time now - will showcase a
significant and historic Bozeman building.
We are siding with the developers with the belief that the recommendation of the City of
Bozeman planning department is not fair or legal given they have constructed what they were
legally authorized by the City of Bozeman to build.
Further, making adjustments to what has already been constructed would be careless, wasteful,
not economically feasible, and would do considerable harm as the opening would be delayed
for several months to make these changes. The building, as constructed, poses no threat to
community safety nor is it in any way a cause for concern for public health. The Armory Hotel
is a local’s vision to save a decaying vacant historic building and to add something dynamic to
the lifeblood of our extraordinary community.
The Armory Hotel will be a regional destination that will employ many - while fueling the
local economy - all paramount to our thriving city. This is a landmark effort deserving of your
unwavering support.
Thank you for your serious consideration of this worthwhile project. LET’S MOVE THIS
FORWARD.
Should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 406-570-8315.
Sincerely,
-John & Heidi Parkes
