National Endowment for the Arts NEA Grants Management Officer January 6, 2014 Re: Montana Ballet Company's Application for an Our Town Grant Dear Sir or Madame: On behalf of the City of Bozeman, I am writing in support of the Montana Ballet Company's application for an Our Town grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). In Bozeman, Montana, the mayor is the highest ranking government official. The City of Bozeman is excited to support the planning and design efforts for a facility to house the thriving Montana Ballet Company and its Academy. We believe strongly that a flourishing arts community is a key factor in the continued growth and strengthening of the community as a whole. The Montana Ballet Company is involving the political leadership of the City of Bozeman, along with other stakeholders and partners, in the planning and design process. This grant opportunity will further our collective goals of making Bozeman a more livable community through increased access to the arts. This is the only project being submitted by the City of Bozeman for the Our Town grant opportunity. Please do not hesitate to contact me at (406) 582-2341 or jkrauss@bozeman.net if you have any questions about this letter or the City of Bozeman's role. I respectfully request and appreciate your consideration of the Montana Ballet Company's grant application. Sincerely, Jeffrey K. Krauss Mayor City of Bozeman
