To the City Director of Community Planning and Development:
I am writing to you as a fifth generation Montanan. Both sides of my family homesteaded
across Montana and this beautiful place has always been my home and my heart. I grew up in
the Flathead and moved to Bozeman in 2003. It is absolutely crazy to see how much our
community has grown in those years!! With respect, I would ask you to consider the
following.
We have had so many developers and outsiders move in and change the face of our town for
the good and the bad. Memorable buildings have been bulldozed, streets are unrecognizable. I
firmly believe that we should support those in our community who are trying to bring life back
to our historical buildings. If someone is going to great lengths to keep our story alive, the last
thing we should do is punish them for it. I do not know the politics behind the Armory, but as
Montanan’s should we not support those who come here and respect the history of our state
and our lineage?
I know that the Armory will bring more job opportunities to us Montanan’s. After reading the
article in the Bozeman Chronicle I couldn’t help but feel like the story wasn’t being told from
an unbiased, straight and true perspective about the zoning and the planning and development.
All that I ask is for you to please consider supporting those in the community who are trying to
preserve the history of Montana. Please approve application 19410 for the Armory.
Thank you for your time,
Hannah Uhde
