Hello,
My name is Nora Tripp and I am 21 years old and have been born and raised in Bozeman. As
a young person in this community, I understand that change is inevitable. Places grow, peoplechange, time treks onward. But the Guthrie is directly in my neighborhood and would tower
over places that I knew and loved growing up. I accept that Bozeman must change. Peoplewant to come and live here, but the project of the Guthrie directly violates the NCOD
protections on neighborhoods. Bozeman's charm is not its fancy high rises. It is our historyand connection to the natural world which is one of the most powerful things that the whole
state of Montana has to offer. A building like the Guthrie would be detrimental to thecommunity created in this neighborhood on the north side.
Not to mention that the apartments would not be affordable at all. I have looked into what
these apartments would be going for and they are simply not affordable. I am against itwholeheartedly. And I think it is a shame that the project was even suggested.
Please vote no on the Guthrie.
Sincerely,
Nora
