Located on approximately 25 developed acres adjacent to Montana State University,the Innovation Campus provides services, facilities,programs and expertise to stimulate and support the growth of research and technology-based enterprises. Plans have begun to triple the size of the current 25 acres and expand the Innovation Campus to over 75 acres. To ensure efficiency in the use of land within the District,and the capacity of public infrastructure,the MSU Innovation Campus will seek to provide for an appropriate mix of R&D activities,commercial,and light-manufacturing development to guide such development to appropriate areas of the land identified for expansion. The Innovation Campus provides walkways,jogging,and biking trails. As the Innovation Campus develops,expansion will include open green spaces,water features,as well as a partnership to support further development of retail contiguous to the west side of the Innovation Campus,known as the"Mitchell Development Gateway Project". Innovation Campus companies and their employees will enjoy many services and benefits as our Business Partner. These will include,just to name a few: • Class A office and lab facilities • Executive Conference rooms, 'Think Tanks',and high-tech Conference facilities • Discount programs and services • State-of-the-art high-speed data and telephone services • Special discount programs for office furniture,supplies,lab furnishings and chemicals • Incubation space,to include support services and counseling • Access to services at the campus library h=://www.lib.montana.edu • Student assistantships and internship programs -4- • Seminars by Montana State University and visiting scientists and scholars • Technology Transfer assistance with intellectual property and patent issues, licensing,and coordination of resources with the private sector • Use of Montana State University facilities and specialized equipment The Innovation Campus provides`the place'for the creative and daring to push the entrepreneurial spirit to new heights; to take new ideas from concept to reality; and for pioneering researchers and scientists to expand research opportunities and create cutting- edge technologies that will change the world. Location The Innovation Campus is located in Bozeman,Montana,a place well known for its beautiful landscape,pristine surroundings,and outstanding quality of life. Bozeman has a comfortable climate,four magnificent seasons,recreational and entertainment opportunities,with fantastic dining and culture experiences. Simply put, Bozeman is an outdoor enthusiast's playground of year-round activities,cuisine,music,and art festivals. In addition,Bozeman offers a highly educated population of 40,000 residents with more than 49%of the community holding undergraduate and higher degrees. Hiss In 1986, Montana State University, under the leadership of President Bill Tietz,requested Montana State University Foundation develop and manage the first and only university- related research park in Bozeman, Montana,known as the Advanced Technology Park (ATP). Montana State University Foundation obtained property upon which the Advanced Technology Park was developed. In that same year,engineering services and installation of infrastructure was completed. In 1988,the first building known as the Nopper Building was completed. Over the subsequent 10 years, 12 additional buildings were constructed. As of January 1, 2012,there are more than 3S businesses and research groups housed in the Advanced Technology Park employing more than 200 people. Approximately 46%of those employed are Montana State University graduates. In addition,more than a dozen start-up companies originated in the Advanced Technology Park between 1988 and 2008. In November of 2011,the Advanced Technology Inc. (ATI) Board received approval from the Foundation Board of Governors to hire the first Executive Director to oversee full operation of ATI, the for-profit corporation responsible for the oversight of the Advanced Technology Park. Teresa McKnight,a 20+year veteran of university-related research parks,consultant,and member of the Association of University Research Parks Board of Directors was hired to fill this position. McKnight was hired to push forward the redevelopment and expansion of the Advanced Technology Park,now referred to as the Montana State University Innovation Campus. In July of 2012, the MSU Innovation Campus received 501(c)(3) non-profit exemption status. -5- What is a Technology Park? A Technology Park(also referred to as a Science or Research Park) is a physical place that contains contiguous acreage managed by specialized professionals,whose main aim is to increase the wealth of its community by promoting the culture of innovation and the competitiveness of its associated businesses and knowledge-based research institutions. Technology Parks stimulate and manage the flow of knowledge and technology amongst universities, R&D institutions,companies and markets; it facilitates the creation and growth of innovation-based companies through incubation and spin-off processes: and provides other value-added services together with high quality space and facilities. Technology Parks create an environment that fosters collaboration and innovation and promotes development,transfer and commercialization of technology by providing a location in which researchers and companies operate in close proximity. Technology Parks have emerged as strong sources of entrepreneurship,talent,and economic competitiveness for regions,states,and nations. They have become a key element in the infrastructure supporting the growth of today's knowledge economy. Research Park Concept(information provided by Association of University Research Parks(AURP)): • Research Partners • Flow of Talent • Exchange of Ideas • Access to Labs and Specialized Equipment Research Parks Communities Generating Innovation,Technology, And Knowledge 000 Growth of Commercialization Existinb Creation of New of Intellectual Companies Companies Property Generation of jobs and Income —6— Typical Tech Science and Research Park Size • 114 acres • 6 buildings • 314,400 sq. ft. of space,95% occupied • Only 30% of total estimated sq.ft.at build-out currently developed • 30,000 sq.ft, of incubator space Location .

Why a Technology Park Was Constructed at the Current Site Since its founding,Bozeman has been an entrepreneurial city led by visionaries. Based on a recent report published by the Kauffman Foundation,the report highlights the rate of entrepreneurial activity in Montana reaching its highest level in at least 15 years in 2010, and Montana ranks as the nation's second most entrepreneurial state,The Kauffman Foundation calculated Montana's entrepreneurship index at.47 percent,which means that Montana has 470 entrepreneurs per 100,000 in population.That compares to a national rate of.34 percent. A technology park-- or in this case the MSU Innovation Campus- provides "the place"for university,local,regional in-state and out-of-state entrepreneurs to further and enhance their ideas,research and technology. Bozeman is a "hot spot" for entrepreneurs,and with the growth of Bozeman's innovative businesses in industries such as software development and support,photonics,lasers,photovoltaics,pharmaceutical,and bio-tech,as well as MSU's increase in research,the MSU Innovation Campus is well-suited for entrepreneurs and the transfer of technology to merge together in one physical location. Executed correctly,technology parks provide high-impact economic effects on communities,regions, and states in which they are developed. Several factors were weighed in developing the MSU Innovation Campus: 1) Public/Private partnerships between business,industry,government and MSU 2) Internships,assistantships,part-time and full-time opportunities for MSU students 3) High-tech/high-paying jobs 4) Global competitiveness for Bozeman, Gallatin County,and the State of Montana 5) Economic benefits for the community The MSU Innovation Campus offers high-tech employment opportunities and provides a convergence for economic activity giving hope for an increased standard of living in Bozeman and the Gallatin County. The MSU Innovation Campus provides the physical location,buildings,services and amenities for people who build,operate,study,research, develop,produce,and enhance new discoveries. The MSU Innovation Campus not only provides the place for highly skilled,high-paying jobs, but the Innovation Campus also creates high skilled,high-paying jobs that spur �g� employment even beyond the research park itself. According to a study by Battelle,a nonprofit technology development and laboratory management company,under the auspices of the Association of the University Research Parks (AURP), each tech park creates direct jobs across select industries and geographies,which in turn creates 1.5 additional ("indirect") jobs in the surrounding economy. What's more,while many of the direct employment opportunities at a tech park would likely be knowledge-based,high skilled jobs,many others would likely require basic skills. As well, many quality jobs would likely be created outside the park to support both tenant companies and their employees. The additional impact is dramatic. Global Competitiveness Recognizing that a capacity to innovate and commercialize new high-technology products is increasingly a part of the international competition for economic leadership. Governments around the world are taking active steps to strengthen their national innovation systems. These steps underscore the belief that the rising costs and risks associated with new potentially high-pay-off technologies,and the growing global distribution of technical expertise,require national R&D programs to support new and existing high-technology firms within their borders. They also reflect the belief that shared facilities, coupled with geographical proximity next to a research university, can facilitate the transition of ideas from universities and laboratories to private markets. Expansion of the MSU Innovation Campus would enhance Bozeman's position in a global economy where cities increasingly compete for emerging tech businesses and associated talent. National governments have identified technology parks as one way to compete for companies and jobs,and consequently are investing heavily in tech parks-big and small. With a leading academic research institution located in Bozeman, established and growing tech clusters in software development and support,photonics,lasers,photovoltaics, pharmaceuticals,and bio-tech,as well as growing a diversified economic base,Bozeman is already in this race. Expanding a best-in-class R&D campus-the MSU Innovation Campus -will provide a new focus for the collaboration and network economics that make for success in this environment. _10- The MSU Innovation Campus Property (Curs Site) The existing site of the MSU Innovation Campus is located on approximately 25 acres in close proximity to Montana State University. It is bordered by 19th Street to the east, College Street to the north,Garfield Street to the south,and 26rh Street to the west. Currently,there are 15 buildings containing more than 200,000 square feet of office, dry and wet lab space (current 25-acre site highlighted in blue below). r " I i Ad To the west of the current site lies approximately 45 acres of land (areas highlighted in yellow above) owned by Advanced Technology Inc. to support the expansion of the MSU Innovation Campus. The current site provides infrastructure including roadways (Technology Boulevard and Research Drive),curb,gutter,sidewalks,walking and biking trails,electricity,natural gas, sewer and water,telephone,copper and fiber to the existing 25 developed acres. Additional infrastructure will be installed to expand the MSU Innovation Campus to the west on approximately 45 acres of land. Development Economics Rents,royalties,taxes and appreciation in land value are commonly used to recapture initial site acquisition and development costs. With development costs for the MSU —11— Innovation Campus,careful consideration has been given to the uses and users that will be attracted,and the resources and infrastructure that justify at and above market rents. Technology companies are often such tenants. They benefit from the collaborative opportunities provided by a concentration and clustering of similar businesses. These companies also generally require specialized facilities such as reinforced floors and high ceilings,specialized electrical supply,and elaborate ventilation and cooling systems. Such facilities,though expensive to create,are able to command premium rents. Market Opportunity and Proximity Advantage Like most other successful tech park locations,the site of the MSU Innovation Campus benefits from its proximity to a renowned research university—Montana State University- and easy access to other institutions such as Gallatin College,University of Montana,and Montana Tech. Furthermore, Bozeman is experiencing growth in technology start-ups such as LigoCyte, Right Now Technologies (recently acquired by Oracle),Bacterin, Bridger Photonics,and many others. The city is already home to high-tech concentrations in industries such as bio-tech,pharmaceutical, photonics,photovoltaics,life sciences and information technologies. In addition, the region's Ieadership in science and research has been helpful in attracting a diverse base of corporate R&D labs to the Bozeman area. Proximity to other tech companies and other labs offers potential opportunities for collaboration, commercialization,spin-offs and growth of new and existing technologies. Another important distinction of the MSU Innovation Campus site is its proximity to high- bandwidth fiber lines intersecting 3 major providers in the area (Sprint, Century Link (formerly known as Qwest) and Montana Opticom. Even at the speed of light,distance matters. As with the internet, cloud computing and data-intensive applications have become even more central to the daily lives of companies and individuals. The central location of the MSU Innovation Campus provides an important advantage and connectivity to a major IT gateway,as well as a newly constructed data center located at Four Corners (5 miles from the Innovation Campus). New companies creating information technology products and services,and seeking to be close to large-scale server and bandwidth infrastructure,will find the MSU Innovation Campus site has the ability to give them the edge they need to succeed in the global economy. �12� Montana State University Innovation Campus - 1986 to Current Day s r * In 1986,Montana State University requests Montana State University Foundation develop and manage the Advanced Technology Park(ATP), * In 1987,Construction begins on first building the Nopper Technology Building. * Between the period of 1992 and 2003 (11-years) - 12 additional buildings were constructed on the Advanced Technology Park. * In 2006, 50 businesses were located in the Advanced Technology Park employing more than 400 people,of which approximately 42%were MSU graduates.Today, there are more than 35 businesses located in the Advanced Technology Park employing over 250 employees with 45%being MSU graduates. * More than two dozen start-up companies were established in the Advanced Technology Park. * Currently,there are 68 MSU undergraduate and graduate students employed at the Advanced Technology Park * In addition,we have companies collaborating together within the research park,as well as collaborating with MSU Faculty, Researchers and Students. -13- Task Force and On-Site Visit of AURP Professionals In 2010,the Advanced Technology Inc. Board of Directors formed a Task Force to assess the operations of the Advanced Technology Park and determine the future needs of the Advanced Technology Park on the current 25-acre site. In addition,the Advanced Technology Inc. Board of Directors held an on-site forum in December of 2010,which several AURP Professionals provided presentations in order for the Board of Directors, local business leaders, city,county and state leadership to better understand the necessary steps and strategic planning required to expand the MSU Innovation Campus at the current site. The conclusion derived by the Task Force,AURP Professionals,University officials,as well as local and state leadership,was the MSU Innovation Campus is well positioned to expand the tech park in its current location with a new vision of creating a'21st Century Research Park'. All parties understand the decision to push expansion efforts forward would surely be challenging,requiring sound planning,visionary champions,skilled leadership and most importantly,collaboration between the public(City, County,and State),Montana State University Foundation,Montana State University, corporations,civic and business leaders. In addition, all parties understood one important factor would be patience. Leadership concluded expansion of the tech park at this site has a potential to transform not just the city,but also the county,entire region,and State of Montana. Objectives For Expanding the MSU Innovation Campus it Building on Bozeman's reputation as a high-tech community,a hotbed for entrepreneurs and an emerging technology hub,expansion of the MSU Innovation Campus is to achieve several goals for Bozeman,Gallatin County,the region,and the State of Montana: 1. Create more high-tech jobs that require a wide range of research and technical skills,as well as education levels. 2. Attract more established companies,and foster creation of new companies in emerging business sectors,as well as retain and build on existing sectors. 3. Attract more individual and institutional investors to support these companies. 4. Foster more economic development opportunities. 5. Generate a positive impact [direct and indirect) on the University, City,County, Region and State. Planning For The Future and Enhancing Economic Benefits Business and industry make a positive contribution to the fiscal health of a community both by creating jobs for the residents and by contributing local tax revenues that exceed the cost of providing public services to such development. -14- In order to avoid excessive reliance on a single sector of the economy,a focus on attracting high-tech R&D activities will increase well-paying job opportunities for the City and Gallatin County's highly qualified labor force and MSU graduates. Creating high-tech jobs will make it easier for people to both live and work in the City and Gallatin County. In this regard,the mixed-use development concept with office,lab,and light manufacturing is an important tool that has great potential in Bozeman. The physical and functional integration of a single compact, comprehensively planned development creates opportunities for people to live,work,and expand opportunities that are close to their neighborhoods with minimal travel by car,bus,or bicycle. Clearly,the competition for high-wage businesses in Montana will be keen. Moreover, in today's global marketplace,Bozeman must realize that competition for economic development is not just local or even statewide:rather, it is national and worldwide. New Mission and Vision for the Montana na State Iniiy r ity Innovation Campus The Mission of the Montana State University Innovation Campus is: • To promote economic development and support partnerships between regional, national,and international high tech-based businesses and the research community of Montana State,the region,and the State of Montana. • To create a world-class research park to promote academic and industry collaboration to advance research and scientific discoveries with Montana State University Faculty and Students that will maximize the academic talent and regional resources of Montana State University,the region,and the State of Montana. • To promote learning and collaboration in support of scientific research,new discoveries,and inventions to further the commercialization of Montana State University's intellectual assets and technology transfer. • To provide state-of-the-art facilities,programs,services,and amenities to support the growth and success of technology-based businesses. o To provide`the place"to link academic,private,and governmental researchers and scientists to advance new discoveries in support of the Citizens within the State of Montana,the nation,and the world.

Tap into the commercial potential of private and federal dollars invested in research Factors Critical To Success of the Montana State University Innovation Campus The first factor necessary for the successful development of the MSU Innovation Campus is capital. On the other hand, capital is necessary,but not sufficient for success. Of equal importance is a long-term perspective and ample patience. Tech parks take years to progress from concept to critical mass. Some of the most notable parks took a decade,if not decades,to emerge to success. Often,tech parks that identify and secure one or more anchor tenants can reduce the time to as few as 10 years. In March 2008,the National Research Council convened a conference on best practices among science and technology parks around the world. The symposium identified six best practices: • One or more committed champions. 26 o That is,an individual or individuals who possess both the dedication,energy, and to a significant extent,the power and influence to get a project off the ground and see it through to completion. • Effective leadership with the capabilities and resources to create and nurture networking and collaboration among the residents of the park is critical. o Furthermore, a dynamic, capable leader can attract entrepreneurs, capital investors and other necessary people to the broader network structure of the park. • Funding, both public and private, to support development of the tech park as well as provide risk capital for innovation and commercialization of ideas. o The most successful tech parks generally operate in a rich environment of stable access to venture capital for new companies, as well as private equity and debt financing vehicles for more established firms. • Bridging Institutions or other long-term governance mechanism to maintain and continuously develop the tech park's vision. • Soft Infrastructure,which includes the human factors that create and maintain the talent pool necessary to fuel innovation and help companies to grow. o Soft infrastructure includes housing options, educational systems, and lifestyle amenities among others. Metrics or measures to allow for proper evaluation of the performance and contribution of the tech park in light of the commitments of investors,governments and the community. Another study prepared by Battelle in 2007 identified several important features and trends in the development of current tech parks. The study notes that research/tech parks have evolved from the early 1960's stand-alone model to a form that is today much more integrated into their communities. These parks tend to be master planned developments with a mix of academic, industrial, commercial and residential structures. Because people work, live and play in these integrated communities, on-site amenities must be provided commensurate with the demands of the park tenants and residents. The Battelle study notes several challenges that must also be addressed, including facilitating relationships- cultural and commercial -between business and universities. As well,it is necessary to address the challenges of commercialization inherent in bringing any new product idea to market. 27 Additional Critical Points: • University affiliations. o While virtually every tech park is linked to at least one university,having the collaboration of several institutions significantly increases the likelihood of viability. • Anchor tenants help create the critical mass,and cash flow,necessary to carry a park from concept to reality(and serve as a powerful magnet for start-ups and talent). • Industry clusters attract tenants,and new companies spinoff from existing firms. o Clusters become virtuous circles,the more pronounced they become the strong they attract other like businesses. o Early incentives to attract anchor tenants can build important momentum in establishing clusters. • Hard infrastructure o Data bandwidth o Electrical capacity and redundancy o Lab space o Office space o Light-manufacturing space o Transportation access (including bus,car and bicycle) • Security o Dining(convenience and better quality establishments) o HoteI/Conference facilities • Price competitiveness o Taxes/Incentives Rents o Labor o Indirect costs • Flexibility o Building uses o Floor plans o Lease options o Flex construction 28 • Proximity to o Affordable and attractive housing o Transportation options o Restaurants,Night life,Culture o QuaIity-of-life activities • Round the clock life style opportunities 0 24/7 accessibility o Security In addition.Several Observations • It is important to note that virtually every Tech Park,successful or not,has received significant investment of public funds. • It will be difficult to achieve qualitative success and probably more difficult to achieve quantitative success (i.e.,return on financial investment). In fact, "making the numbers work" may require support from civic-minded philanthropies/philanthropists. • While it is most likely that data intensive companies will be attracted to the technology park because of the proximity to the fiber lines,it will be important to also target more people-intensive industries and business to create adequate demand to sustain the ancillary amenities that bring a tech park to life. • While it is not clear which came first-park or culture most thriving tech parks are located in communities that celebrate entrepreneurship and risk taking. • The most famously successful parks achieved their success over a long period of time. Consequently, it is worth again emphasizing the importance of governance structures,bridging institutions,and perhaps,most important,patience. Sustainability Certain types of building are disproportionate users of resources, for example,data centers, clean rooms and laboratories. In other words, the types of buildings that you would expect to find in a technology park. According to Laboratories for the 21st Century(Lab21®),a laboratory can demand 3 -8 times the energy of a traditional office building. A laboratory hood requires as much energy as three homes. Design matters. As energy consumption and pollution become increasingly important in evaluating new development,designed-in sustainability factors will play a role in project selection. It is reasonable to believe that the"sustainability quotient"of a facility can become a competitive advantage. Designed-in sustainability can increase value of a building,decrease its operating costs,and increase tenant appeal. 29 Practices and design that will lead to higher building values for buildings designed to achieve efficiencies. All achieved with little added construction cost(1% for"silver" LEED certification, 2-3% more for"gold" or"platinum"). The MSU Innovation Campus site offers ideal characteristics to create the single best example of sustainable planning design and building in the world. The City of Bozeman is positioned to respond to and lead (sustainable design) trends and,in so doing,become a capital of Green Innovation. Green building and practical Green economic development. Bozeman can become to sustainability what Silicon Valley is to Information Technology. Conclusion MSU Innovation Campus'size and location factor into producing a world-class tech park that will create many jobs and enhance Bozeman's global competitiveness as a high- technology center and"Hot-Spot"for entrepreneurs to locate and/or expand. The MSU Innovation Campus will attract high-growth high-tech value companies,capable of substantial investment in facilities and people. The MSU Innovation Campus site benefits from close proximity to Montana State University and Gallatin Collage,and many of the region's major research and high-tech companies; it is also adjacent, and connected to, high-bandwidth fiber lines,a critical asset to companies that place a premium on data speed. In support of creating a Technology district,companies will be highly engaged in technology-based operations within Montana through the employment of knowledge or labor add value to a product,process,or export service that will create new wealth and sales for which at least 50% of the sales of the business and collaboration efforts will occur outside of Montana,thus supporting the mission for partnerships and economic growth on national and global levels. Supporting the idea of expanding and developing a world-class technology park-the MSU Innovation Campus-is worthy of serious consideration. Such an endeavor will be complex, requiring sound planning,visionary champions,skilled leadership,and most importantly, collaboration between the public(City, County and State) and the private (universities, corporations,civic and neighborhood leaders) sectors. We believe the MSU Innovation Campus not only has the potential to transform the city, but also the entire region,and the State of Montana. 30 Exhibit A DECLARATION OF COVENANTS,CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS FOR THE MONTANA STATE UNIVERSITY INNOVATION CAMPUS This Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (collectively referred to hereinafter as"Covenants") is made this_day of . 20_ by Montana State University Innovation Campus LLC,hereinafter referred to as "MSUIC LLC'for the development of the Montana State University Innovation Campus,hereinafter referred to as "Innovation Campus".

Bozeman Community Plan Future Land Use Map And Land Use Categories W, ri.. j' C 1 I, I , r, i� � u Community Business Park Commercial Mixed Use Mixed Use f I The MSU Innovation Campus property is highlighted in red within the above map,which is an excerpt from Future Land Use Map of the Bozeman Community Plan. Two land use categories from the Bozeman Community Plan apply to the MSU Innovation Campus property: • Business Park Mixed Use; and, • Community Commercial Mixed Use. The following sections from the Bozeman Community Plan describe these two land use categories. 64 Business Park Mixed Use: This classification provides for employment areas with a variety of land uses typified by office uses and technology-oriented light industrial uses, Civic uses may also be included. Retail, residential, services, or industrial uses may also be included in an accessory or local service role.Accessory uses should occupy 20% or less of the planned Business Park Mixed Use areas.These areas are often a buffer between uses,and the scale and intensity should be carefully considered to ensure compatibility with adjacent developments.The developments should provide integrated open spaces,plazas,and pedestrian pathways to facilitate circulation and a pleasant environment. Uses may be mixed both vertically and horizontally with vertically mixed uses being encouraged. Higher intensity uses are encouraged in the core of the area or adjacent to significant streets and intersections.As needed, building height or other transitions should be provided to be compatible with adjacent development. Community Commercial Mixed Use: Activities within this land use category are the basic employment and services necessary for a vibrant community. Establishments located within these categories draw from the community as a whole for their employee and customer base and are sized accordingly.A broad range of functions including retail,education,professional and personal services, offices, residences,and general service activities typify this designation. In the"center-based' land use pattern, Community Commercial Mixed Use areas are integrated with significant transportation corridors,including transit and non- automotive routes,to facilitate efficient travel opportunities.The density of development is expected to be higher than currently seen in most commercial areas in Bozeman and should include multistory buildings. A Floor Area Ratio in excess of .5 is desired. It is desirable to allow residences on upper floors,in appropriate circumstances. Urban streetscapes,plazas, outdoor seating,public art, and hardscaped open space and park amenities are anticipated,appropriately designed for an urban character. Placed in proximity to significant streets and intersections, an equal emphasis on vehicle, pedestrian, bicycle, and transit circulation shall be provided. High density residential areas are expected in close proximity. Including residential units on sites within this category,typically on upper floors,will facilitate the provision of services and opportunities to persons without requiring the use of an automobile. The Community Commercial Mixed Use category is distributed at two different scales to serve different purposes. Large Community Commercial Mixed Use areas are significant in size and are activity centers for an area of several square miles surrounding them.These are intended to service the larger community as well as adjacent neighborhoods and are typically distributed on a one mile radius.Smaller Community Commercial areas are usually in the 10-15 acre size range and are intended to provide primarily local service to an area of approximately one-half mile radius.These commercial centers support and help give identity to individual neighborhoods by providing a visible and distinctive focal point. 65 They should typically be located on one or two quadrants of intersections of arterials and/or collectors.Although a broad range of uses may be appropriate in both types of locations the size and scale is to be smaller within the local service placements. Mixed use areas should be developed in an integrated,pedestrian friendly manner and should not be overly dominated by any single land use. Higher intensity employment and residential uses are encouraged in the core of the area or adjacent to significant streets and intersections.As needed,building height transitions should be provided to be compatible with adjacent development. The MSU Innovation Campus Comprehensive Development Plan,including specifically the MSU Innovation Campus Expansion Plans,Implementation Strategies, and Guiding Principles, are consistent with the Business Park Mixed Use and Community Commercial Mixed Use land use categories of the Bozeman Community Plan. Additionally,the MSU Innovation Campus Comprehensive Development Plan is consistent with,and will substantively implement,the following goals and policies of the Bozeman Community Plan: • Objective LU-1.4: Provide for and support infill development and redevelopment which provides additional density of use while respecting the context of the existing development which surrounds it. Respect for context does not automatically prohibit difference in scale or design. • Goal LU-2: Designate centers for commercial development rather than corridors to encourage cohesive neighborhood development in conjunction with non-motorized transportation options. • Objective LU-2.3: Encourage redevelopment and intensification,especially with mixed uses, of brownfields and underutilized property within the City consistent with the Citys adopted standards. Using this approach rehabilitate corridor based commercial uses into a pattern more supportive of the principles supported by commercial centers. • Objective LU-4.4: Review and revise the City's regulations to encourage and support sustainability in new construction and rehabilitation or redevelopment of existing areas. • Objective C-1.1:- Expand design review programs citywide to ensure well designed spaces throughout the community. • Objective C-4.1: Continue to develop the design guidelines for site planning and buildings to emphasize creativity,diversity,and individuality.The design guidelines 66 shall be based on the premise that truly creative design is responsive to its context and contributes to a comfortable,interesting community. • Objective C-6.3: Encourage and support energy conservation and efficiency in all aspects of development. • Goal ED-1: Promote and encourage the continued development of Bozeman as a vital economic center. • Objective ED-1.2: Coordinate the provision of infrastructure necessary to support economic development. • Objective ED-1.3: Foster a positive economic climate through a well-managed and aesthetically pleasing built environment,and by maintaining a beautiful and healthy natural environment to promote and attract businesses with a desirable impact on the community. • Objective ED-1.4: Encourage ongoing improvements in private infrastructure systems,such as telecommunications,and promote state-of- the-art facilities. • Objective ED-1.5: Encourage,through the use of incentives, the development of business and industry that provides wages that are proportionate to,or are higher than,the cost of living and provide options to expand skills and opportunities for Bozeman's workforce. • Objective ED-1.6: Utilize the City's economic development and urban renewal plans to stimulate investment and maintain a health and vibrant economy. • Objective ED-1.7: Support efforts by the Bozeman Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Bozeman Area Chamber of Commerce,the Downtown Bozeman Partnership, Prospers Business Network, MSU-Bozeman and others to promote Bozeman. (Source: Bozeman Economic Development Plan) • Objective ED-1.8: leverage local,state,and federal economic development resources to enhance economic growth in Bozeman. (Source: Bozeman Economic Development Plan) • Objective ED-2.7: Support Montana State University in its educational and research mission,which contributes to the local and state economy. • Objective ED-2.8: Support education and workforce development initiatives to provide Bozeman with the qualified workers to meet the needs of business. (Source: Bozeman Economic Development Plan) 67 • Objective ED-3.2: Encourage sustainable development to minimize costs to businesses and customers and protect quality of life. • Objective RCC-2.7; Continue cooperation with Montana State University on transportation, building siting,future land use planning, and other town/gown issues. 68 Section 2: Relationship to the City of Bozeman Unified Development Code The City of Bozeman Unified Development Code contains both subdivision and zoning procedures and standards. The MSU Innovation Campus Comprehensive Development Plan has been developed to be consistent with all applicable provisions of the City of Bozeman Unified Development Code. Bozeman Zoning Designation Map T- __ _ r r - ••R�4 1 6 P , Intent of Applicable Zoning Districts The intent of the Business Park(BP) district is"to provide for high quality settings and facilities for the development of a variety of compatible employment opportunities.These areas should be developed so as to recognize the impact on surrounding or adjacent development and contribute to the overall image of the community. Compatibility with adjacent land uses and zoning is required." The intent of the Community Business (B-2) district is"to provide for a broad range of mutually supportive retail and service functions located in clustered areas bordered on one or more sides by limited access arterial streets." 69 The land uses and site development proposed by the MSU Innovation Campus Comprehensive Development Plan is consistent with the intent of both the BP and B-2 zoning districts. AIlowed Uses In Zoning Districts The following are excerpts from the Authorized Use Tables in the City of Bozeman Unified Development Code for the BP and B-2 zoning districts. The excerpts have been chosen to highlight how the land uses that are likely to occur within the MSU Innovation Campus as proposed by the Comprehensive Development Plan would be regulated. In these tables,principal uses are indicated with a "P,"and conditional uses are indicated with a "C."

Table of Commercial Uses B-2 Zone District Permitted Uses Laboratories,research and diagnostic P Manufacturing,light and completely indoors C Offices,as defined in this chapter P Public buildings P Research laboratories P Because of the large, contiguous,undeveloped area within the MSU Innovation Campus, there no constraints that would not allow all site specific development to conform to the dimensional and development standards of the BP and B-2 zoning districts. It is anticipated that the Comprehensive Development Plan will be further refined through a master planning process to facilitate the orderly development of the infrastructure, amenities,and facilities within the MSU Innovation Campus. This master planning process will be closely coordinated with City of Bozeman to ensure ongoing conformance with all applicable plans and policies,including the potential creation of a zoning district or overlay that would more accurately reflect the specific development pattern of the MSU Innovation Campus. 70 Section 3: Relationship to the City of Bozeman Economic Development Alan Montana State University [plays] a significant role in the growth and development of Bozeman's technology industry,and is the reason the Bozeman area is considered the technology center of the state. (City of Bozeman, 2009 Economic Development Plan, Section III-2) Home to more than 100 technology-based firms, Bozeman has become the high-tech center of Montana; and it is one of the largest technology communities in the northern Rocky Mountains.Bozeman's technology sector has grown significantly since the early 1990's.A 1994 report on high-tech clusters in Montana by the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis cited just 8 companies engaged in research or production of laser optic equipment and only 12 in biotech in the Bozeman area.Today, there are an estimated 20 firms engaged in laser optics and an estimated 33 firms engaged in biotech. Bozeman's technology sector now includes firms engaged in advanced manufacturing (an estimated 26 firms) and laser optics (an estimated 20 firms); information technology-- application development, information technology services,software, Internet applications, telecom,etc. Can estimated 50 firms); biotech or bioscience (an estimated 33 firms); and agricultural,environmental,or miscellaneous activities (an estimated 14 firms).These firms for the most part are selling their goods and services entirely to customers located outside of Montana and many located outside of the U.S.These firms directly employ an estimated more than 3,000 individuals whose earnings are significantly higher than the county's annual average wage of about$32,500. Without a doubt,the concentration of research activity at Montana State University has fueled the development of technology-based companies clustered in Bozeman and it has been a significant contributor to Bozeman's vibrant entrepreneurial technology economy. University technology transfer and commercialization activities have been driving economic development nationwide since the early 1980's when changes in federal legislation accelerated the process and increased incentives for collaboration between universities and industry.Montana State University has been no exception.According to the MSU Technology Transfer Office,technology developed at MSU has resulted in the spin- off of 30 companies and licensing by 37 companies in the Bozeman area and nearly 300 companies statewide.The university holds 163 licenses for patents for innovations such as biological, chemical, and engineering processes and compounds, coatings for the space shuttle or pharmaceutical drugs. Of those 163 licenses,60%are with Montana companies, many located in Bozeman. 71 MSU has grown to become a regional leader in research and creative projects with nearly $100 million in research expenditures in the state each year. MSU was recognized by Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching as one of 96 research universities nationally with "very high research activity." MSU has strong ties to industry in the Bozeman area,particularly in the life science,aerospace,and information technology sectors. MSU lists relationships with over 150 companies which include research support, licensing agreements,and consulting services. In 2007,MSU granted 283 Bachelor's degrees in engineering fields and 195 Bachelor's degrees in science fields.According to the MSU Career Destinations survey of graduates in 2007, 56% of engineering graduates and 61% of science graduates were employed by Montana companies after graduation,many in the Bozeman area. The strength of Bozeman's technology economy has also translated into private companies receiving research and development and investment funding. During the 2000-2004 time period, Montana ranked loth in the nation in the average annual number of federal Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) awards made,with nearly half going to Bozeman companies (18 out of 44 total). (City of Bozeman,2009 Economic Development Plan, Section IV, 1 -2) Excerpts from City of Bozeman.2009 Economic Development Goals and Strategies Supporting Technology and the MSU Innovation Campus 1) Support the expansion and retention of existing businesses and economic clusters that will continue to strengthen and diversify the economy and create higher paying jobs in Bozeman. a. Pursue, support,and provide assistance for business start-up, expansion,and business recruitment efforts that strengthen the following economic clusters: • Technology(biotech/bioscience,information technology,laser/optics) b. Support and promote entrepreneurial efforts linked to emerging markets, high technology,and research and development. c. Leverage MSU-Bozeman research,faculty,and students to expand upon current opportunities and identify additional opportunities for the long term economic diversity and vitality of Bozeman. 72 d. Support efforts by the Bozeman Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Bozeman Area Chamber of Commerce,the Downtown Bozeman Partnership,Prospera Business Network,MSU-Bozeman,and others to promote Bozeman. 2) Maintain and upgrade infrastructure to support the current and future needs of business. a. Maintain infrastructure (city service or private service) at safe and efficient levels to satisfy the current and future needs for economic expansion.The condition of streets and sidewalks,water and sewer,gas and electric distribution,communications,and solid waste disposal all affect how efficiently businesses conduct their operations.It also contributes to business retention and recruitment efforts. b. Support the further development of technology park areas to meet the needs of existing and future technology based companies, 3) Support education and workforce development initiatives to provide Bozeman with the qualified workers to meet the needs of business, a. Support the efforts of the Montana University System to expand 2-year degree and job training and certification programs in Bozeman. b. Support the enrollment growth of MSU-Bozeman through the statewide legislative level and at the local level.All avenues should be explored that promote MSU and Bozeman in a cooperative manner. c. Encourage MSU College of Technology in Bozeman,Bozeman Job Service and the Bozeman School District to develop and maintain continuing education and certification programs for high-demand jobs. d. Support the"Come Home Montana"promotion(and consider developing a "Come Home Bozeman"promotion) to Montana alumni residing out of state,highlighting local employers and career opportunities,local quality of life,and other factors that may lead to a decision to return to Bozeman. 4) Leverage local,state,and federal economic development resources to enhance economic growth in Bozeman. 73 a. Continue to utilize tax increment financing(TIF) programs as a tool for urban renewal and economic redevelopment opportunities where appropriate. 5) Create a more collaborative and effective working partnership between the business community and the City of Bozeman and effectively manage the City of Bozeman's regulatory environment to accomplish goals without hindering business expansion and economic growth. a. Support efforts of the Montana Manufacturing Extension Center (MMEC), TechRanch, the Small Business Development Center(SBDC),and other organizations to encourage and foster entrepreneurship and small business development in Bozeman. 6) Maintain the high quality of life that is considered an important asset to the business community. a. Recognize and support the idea that Bozeman's"quality of place"is a significant asset for the business community. (City of Bozeman,2009 Economic Development Plan,Section VII, 1-8) Based on 2008-2009 data, MSU adds 13,511 public and private jobs to the state's economy. This generates more than$1 billion in personal income from the four campuses and MAES, which equates to $897.7 million in after-tax income and$2S3 million in state tax revenue. MSU's research innovation has led to the creation and growth of businesses throughout the state,providing employment opportunities in industries such as agriculture, energy, construction, healthcare and technology, 74 EXHIBIT E i .

As Montana's land-grant institution,MSU is dedicated to serving the people of the I state.This service is provided in many forms including:education on our four campuses in Bozeman,Billings,Havre and Great Falls;research on the campuses and at the Montana jAgricultural Experiment Station(MAES)at MSU-Bozcman and its seven regional centers; and dissemination of knowledge through our counc Extension offices and MASS centers across the state.Not only does MSU serve the state through education,research and outreach, but it also makes significant contributions to Montana's economy. To quantify the impact of MSU on the state's economy,an economic impact study was t conducted by the University of Montana's Bureau of Business and Economic Research. The premise of the study was to compare the actual economy with a hypothetical economy in which the university is removed.The result of this analysis,which is presented in this document,measured the University's contributions related to five key areas for which i data were available.`Those five areas include university operations,research expenditures, Increased earnings of graduares and visitor and nonresident student off-campus spending. i ( Noret With a presence in all of Montana's counties,MW Extemion is unique,and cannot be effectively measured by the same five metrics as the camptues and MASS. Thus, the economic impact ofMSU Ex- tension is not included;however information describing the breadth and scope is provided in this report. I Based on the analysis of MSU and the state economy,the economic impact study reported MSU's economic impact(excluding MSU Extension)is: 1 • Jolts: 13,511 Montana jobs. j • Incomes More than$1 billion in personal income which equates to$897.7 million in 1 after-tax income. t • Tax Revenues$253 million in state tax revenue,which means the state receives f $2.60 in tax revenues for every$1 of tax support. !

NOTE:Please see Economic Impact Report Research Note on page 4 3 The Research Question 1 The purpose of this study was to address the following question:What would the economy j of the state of Montana look like if Montana State University did not exist? Using tools which track and measure the interaction of the key sectors of the Montana I economy(see The REMI Model,page 5),the study examines a hypothetical world that I removes the spending and output of MSU.The difference between the economy of today and the hypothetical economy with no university is the total economic impact of MSU. ( That impact can be thought of as the sum of three pieces; [. Direct Impact This is the impact that the operations of the University itself have on the economy.The items in rhis list are incredibly varied.MSU pays employees and vendors, attracts research dollars from governments and industry,and increases the earning power j of its students when they graduate.It also hosts sporting events and sells merchandise. j MSU attracts out-of-state scholars and students. It receives tax support from the state of Montana.All of these mechanisms directly impact the economy of the state. Indirect impacts'These are the economic activities that occur in the state of Montana because of the University,but are not part of the University itself.Companies that locate jin Montana because of the presence of the University,visitors and tourists,technology companies with informal links to the University,and even highly educated workers who come to Montana because their spouses are employed at MSU are examples of these. Induced impacts An economic stimulus such as the University produces changes in the economy that go beyond its direct and indirect impacts.When businesses and employees arc economically enriched through the University's activities,they further stimulate the j economy through the increases in their spending that result.This"second-round"impact j is significant and can be estimated with the use of an economic model that captures the linkages between spending and production for the Montana economy. I Limitations of the Study 1 Many additional indirect impacts could be added to this study.For example, the presence of businesses,workers,investments and spending in Montana that are in some way related to the presence of Montana State University also contribute to the state's economy.These include start-up businesses,businesses that co-locate with the University for a variety of ! reasons(e.g.,labor market recruitment),conferences and events,and the labor supply of educated spouses of University employees. I None of these indirect impacts are included in this report.Although substantial,the rigorous estimation of these was beyond the scope of the economic impact study.The total impact of the University involves tracing and tabulating the induced impacts caused by I the direct impacts of MSU using an economic model. l In addition,it is important to note that the MSU Extension impacts are not included ! in this report. i I i 1 4 1 Montana sore University I Economic Impact Report 2olo Econoniic Inipact Model The REMI Model A critical link in this analysis involves translating Montana State University's direct and 1 indirect impacts into overall state economic activity.This is accomplished by means of an economic model.The model is used to make two kinds of economic projections.The first I is the baseline,or status quo,a projection of the Montana economy as it stands today.The second projection removes the direct and indirect contributions of MSU.'These changes I bring about further economic impacts—the induced impacts.The model is a critical I tool in understanding how those first-round impacts alter investments and decisions that ultimately determine the size of the resulting economy.The difference between these eco- nomic projections is the total impact of the University. I l _ The Bureau of Business and Economic Research used a top-tier economic impact j model,provided by REMI,Inc.of Amherst,Mass.,for this purpose.The REMI model 1 has been in existence since the early 1980s and has been used to evaluate the economic contributions of the University of Michigan, the University of Connecticut and other higher education institutions.It has been evaluated or used in more than 700 studies ) and appears in more than a dozen peer-reviewed academic journal articles.The model is (� capable of examining impacts in fine detail and has a peerless reputation. Economic Impact Study Research Note j Research Note from the Bureau of Business and Economic Research Regarding Comparisons of the Economic Contributions of The University of Montana-Missoula(UM)and Montana I State University: The economic impact studies for UM and the campuses of MSU were conducted at I different points in time, using slightly different models and methodology.Each study was I carried out so as to represent and estimate the institution's economic impact as thoroughly and accurately as possible.However,the passage of time and the evolution of the method- ology make a direct comparison of the results between the two institutions inappropriate. Both studies use the REMI model,and both construct an alternative future economy that removes the direct expenditure flows of the particular institution.However, 1. the UM study uses a (one region) REMI model of the state of Montana,whereas l the MSU studies have employed a REMI model which considers five sub-regions i of the state separately,adding up the regions co produce a state impact; j ii. some of the MSU studies incorporate the spending of business startups and other j spin-offs of MSU research; iii.The UM study was constructed to produce an estimate of how its economic con- j tribution changed over time,whereas the MSU studies were designed to deliver a I profile of the institution's current(and ongoing) contribution. For these reasons a numerical comparison of the results of the UM and MSU studies is misleading and inappropriate.The results clearly show that the operations of UM and the campuses and agencies of MSU are a complementary force for economic advancement in the state of Montana. j I I I 5 i Key Terms for this Report The Bureau of Business and Economic Research analyzed several distinct mechanisms with which Montana State University interacts to increase the state economy.To under- stand the analysis and its implications,it is important to define and delineate each of the factors that were examined and analyzed as part of the economic impact study. 1 j Definitions IUniversity Operations The payroll and purchases of the University for academic year 2008- 09 were tabulated and categorized.This analysis included a thorough accounting of tax and tuition payments in support of that spending originating from the state of Montana, University Research The University's spending and payroll for research activities,net of within state support,were assembled and summarized. Graduate Earnings Census data arc used to estimate the additional earnings of those with bachelor and graduate-level college degrees in Montana.Applying these estimates to MSU graduates residing in the state of Montana produces an estimate of the aggregate earnings f impact of MSU. i Nonresident Visitors*An estimate of out-of-state visitor spending attributable to MSU is constructed by using student survey responses on visitation frequency for nonresident jstudents,combined with spending profiles from The University of Montana's Institute for ] Tourism and Recreation Research. i Nonresident Student Off-Campus Spending*The spending profile of nonresident students is estimated and presented using survey responses of The University of Montana students. I These are direct impacts of the University. *Nonresident visitor and student spending were based on studies conducted at The University of 1 Montana. The results were utilized to estimate visitor and nonresident expenditures far MSU. 1 1 I I i f 1 I i I i I 1 I i i I 6 1 Montana State Univcuity I Economic Impact Report 2010 Statewide Analysis Statewide Analysis Montana State University is comprised of four campuses in Bozeman, Billings,Havre I and Great Falls,as well as all county Extension offices and Montana Agricultural Ex- j periment Station statewide programs.Although much of the economic impact is con- centrated where there is a physical campus,MSU's impact is also felt broadly across the i state through the county Extension offices and Montana Agricultural Experiment Station research centers. i MSU's most valuable contribution to the state is an educated workforce that attracts, ) promotes,and retains higher paying jobs in Montana.With a combined fall 2010 enroll- ment of nearly 22,000, MSU's four campuses serve citizens throughout the state,prepar- I The Economic Impact ing students to become productive in their communities, study found that Montana In this report,it is recognized that state support for MSU and resident student ex- State University has a penses,including tuition and spending,does not represent additional revenue for the state j significant Impact on the economy.'Therefore these resources are nor reflected in this analysis.

I money and resources from 'The Economic Impact study found that MSU has a significant impact on the state Montanans are excluded. economy,even when money and resources from Montanans are excluded.The money added to the state's economy as a result of MSU comes from four primary sources. • Higher incomes,productivity and spending of Montana residents who are MSU graduates are significant additions to the state's economy. • MSU attracts significant support from outside the state through nonresident student i spending that adds to the Montana economy. • MSU has a record of successfully competing for research funds.These dollars repre- sent new money for the state economy attributable to the presence of the University. • University dollars spent on payroll,MSU education and research has a higher"made in Montana"fraction than most goods and services consumers might buy.'Thus tak- ing money away from general spending and directing it toward the University results in a net gain to the Montana economy. Because the economic impact study is designed to compare the state's current economy and an economy without the University,the analysis of these measures is careful to include only resources that come from external sources.Support generated from in-state sources,such as state appropriations or in-crate tuition,would likely still be retained in the i state if the University did not exist. i I I i I i I i i 7 l University Operations jMontana State University is one of the largest employers in the state.The MSU campuses I alone account for$154.3 million in payroll and benefits,meaning that approximately 79 ! percent of the unrestricted funds go to employees who live and spend their wages in Mon- I tans.In addition to compensation and benefits,University faculty and staff wages and I other expenditures related to instruction,academic support,student services,institutional support,public service and outreach,and operation and maintenance of facilities are ac- counted for in what are referred to as unrestricted funds. J Funds for University operations come from four primary sources including tuition and I fees,state appropriations,private and public research support funds,and payments from 1 individuals.

( though there is an unequal distribution of nonresident students among all of the campuses, with the majority attending in Bozeman,all of the campuses experience some benefit from nonresident student revenue and all of the campuses are successful in attracting external 1 funding.Thus the operations of the University bring new money into the state. i ! The second stimulus comes from the service-oriented nature of the University itself. l MSU has a very high proportion of its output that is locally produced. Directing in-state jspending to the University,instead of to most other goods,wIll provide more stimulus to 1 the state economy even if the dollar amounts are the same.For example,another item a Montanan might spend money on,say,a new car,has a much lower fraction of its value that can be said to come from Montana. i I i '• i I I { l - - I i 1 I i I I 10 1 Montana State University(F.conomIc Impact Report 2010 Uiiiversity Research University Research -Ilirough its four campuses,Montana State University represents the largest research enter- prise—public or private—in the state.The majority of the roughly$100 million annually I fueling MSU research comes from the federal government.Without the MSU campuses and Montana Agricultural Experiment Station, those funds would be dispersed elsewhere I in the nation. [ i Research expenditures allow MSU to offer undergraduates access to research and cre- ative experiences,attract world-class graduate students and faculty,and pave the way for t new discoveries that help make Montana and the nation more economically competitive. MSU research covers a broad range of topics,but the system's strengths are in the areas of biomedical research,seeking new ways to fight human and livestock diseases;energy [ research,opening new territory in everything from biofuels to fuel cells;natural resources, discovering better ways to use waters,land and wildlife;and agriculture,advancing new I crop varieties,and creating new technologies and stewardship practices. Based on 2008-09 figures,the$109.5 million in annual spending and the equivalent of ap- proximately 730 high-paying jobs in MSU research would be lost to the state if the University I did not exist,and so would the fruits of those research efforts--the patents and inventions, the spinoff of business into the state economy,and the well-trained engineers and scientists 1 that will help keep Montana and the nation competitive into the 21st century.

Northern and Bozeman;and distance education to serve all Montanans,most extensively i through Billings and Great Falls. The value of a college education is well documented.Benefits range from increased I earning potential to a more informed citizenry,better health choices and even a more politically engaged population.Evidence from the economic impact study suggests that college is critical for the future economic status of individuals. Using Montana data from the most recent American Community Survey conducted by the U.S. Bureau of the Census,the Bureau of Business and Economic Research was able to estimate age-income I profiles for Montana men and women for four basic educational attainment categories: I high school education, those with some college,those with a four year college degree,and The value of a college f( those with a graduate degree.

I Only spending by out of-state visitors who are visiting the campuses was accounted for I in the economic impact study,because it reflects the actual value added to the economy by MSU.A conservative estimate of this spending was constructed by considering only one type of visitor-friends and families of out-of-state students.Based on a Bureau of jBusiness and Economic Research student expenditure survey conducted with nonresident I UM students, it is estimated that visitors stay in Montana an average of 3.5 days. Based on i daily expenditure estimates of nonresident visitors seeing family and friends,it is cstimat- 1 ed that these trips generate spending of about$6.2 million within the state of Montana. As shown in the table,travel,accommodations and food services account for the majority of expenditures. Without MSU,visitors'expenditures for accommodations,food,services,retail goods ! and transportation would be lost to the state economy.

I Nonresident Student Expenditure I Student spending plays a significant role in Montana State University's impact on the I economy,particularly the Bozeman campus.MSU draws in nonresident students to the state that, in the absence of the University,would locate and spend their money elsewhere, For example, the fall 2008 enrollment profile of MSU-Bozeman was 28 percent nonresi- dent or 3,415 students paying nonresident tuition.Spending by these students for living i expenses represents dollars added to the state economy. i l i i 18 i Montana State University I Economic impart Report 2010 Visitor ► • •nt Student. Spending To generate an estimate of nonresident student expenditures for the MSU campuses, 1 the results of a student expenditure survey conducted by the Bureau of Business and Eco- nomic Research were updated to 2008 using price information from the Bureau of Labor Statistic's Consumer price Index.The results indicated that average non-housing expendi- rures were$892 per month.Based on this information,the direct impact of nonresident student spending on Montana's economy in 2008 was approximately$40.8 million.Con- j sistent across all four campuses,retail sales accounted for the largest portion of student spending,aside from housing,at$28.6 million annually.Aside from tuition,nonresident j students'expenditures are$67.3 tt»llion each academic year that they live in Montana.

Excellence In Education Montana State University-Bozeman was rcaccrcditcd in 2010 by jthe Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities and commended for the"cx- I rremely high level of productivity and effectiveness"of its faculty. MSU-Bozeman is desig- lnated as one of 96 research universities with"very high research activity" by the Carnegie [ Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.This highest tier classification—out of 4,400 institutions—distinguishes MSU-Bozeman as the only institution in a five-state 1 region to achieve this level of research prominence. Revolutionary Research Although the core focus continues to be the education of students, ■. ` 1 research and education at MSU-Bowman are inextricably linked. Faculty experts men- ' for students from field work and lab analysis to publication of findings.In addition to enhancing student learning,research produces new discoveries that lead to improvements in quality of life,positively impacts the economy through the creation of new companies j and jobs,and explores opportunities and challenges unique to the region. Scholars at MSU-Bozeman set a new record in fiscal year 2010,boosting the Univer- sity's research expenditures to$109.5 million—making it the states leading research and development enterprise.Approximately two-thirds of this amount is expended for salaries, making the research activities of the campus one of the state's leading employers.Research I money is critical to providing students and faculty with cutting-edge technology and Te- 1 sources to make breakthrough discoveries. Major sources of federal funding in fiscal year 2009 were the National Institutes of Health,the National Science Foundation,the U.S. Department of Energy,the U.S. Department of Agriculture,NASA and the U.S. Depart- ment of Transportation.Areas of research expertise include:biomedical sciences,energy, I environment,solar physics,agriculture,optics,cold regions sciences,Yellowstone studies, earth sciences and transportation. l Economic Impact New research findings at MSU-Bozeman lead to advances that can be ap- plied to global challenges.In addition,these new discoveries have a significant impact on the j state and local economy.Many of the discoveries that have commercial potential are licensed i to Montana companies_MSU-Bozeman contributes to Montana's economic development in five major ways: • Business Assistance MSU-Bozcman houses a number of business assistance pro- grams that range from manufacturing expertise to help businesses maximize profit- I ability and efficiency, to access to premier R&D facilities and resources to facilitate f business innovation;and assistance for businesses pursuing Small Business Innova- tion Research (SBIR) funds. j • Workforce Development Research participation provides students practical,hands- on experience,better preparing them to compete for jobs and make an immediate I impact when they enter the workforce. jTechnology Transfer MSU-Bozcman has nearly 200 active technology licenses for ! discoveries and more than 100 patents have been issued for discoveries. I 22 Montana Start University I Economic Impact Report 2oio Caiiipus Close-ups Montana State University-Billings Measuring the overall impact of a university in Montana's largest city can be done on a ! variety of levels.As a vibrant institution serving a diverse constituency with varied needs and expectations,MSU-Billings has grown into its role as a conduit to educational oppor- tunity,not only for Billings, but also for the entire state. 1 1 1 With traditional undergraduate education as its core,the university also embraces I alternative pathways for student success.MSU-Billings has become a Ieader in providing educational opportunities in areas of two-year education,distance learning and outreach. i Two-year education As one of five academic colleges at MSU-Billings, the College of i Technology is the point of access for many students in the region who are seeking general 1 education or specific workforce skills in high-demand areas,Enrollment at the two-year 1 t campus has grown from 482 in the fall of 2001 to 1,531 in the fall of 2010.More than I _ 61 percent of the students at the COT are from Yellowstone County,with an increasing 1 y t number of Hispanic and American Indian students. ` s Graduates in those programs have a major impact on the economy by filling jobs in the healthcare,energy,automotive technology,and computer networking and business sectors, ! About 95 percent of those graduates remain in Montana to work and raise their families. Through a unique partnership with Billings School District 2, the COT also provides Adult Basic Education and GED access. Distance education Recognized as a statewide leader in distance education, MSU-Billings [�[ is committed to integrating technology and teaching in new formats for the next genera- I tion of students.Because 40 percent of MSU-Billings'student body is over 25 years old, and many attend part-time, the flexibility provided through an online format is critical to 1 their success as they juggle education,work and family responsibilities. About 16 percent of MSU-Billings students in fall 2010 were online-only students, taking classes from their homes in nearly every county in Montana. Producing more than 1 just an a la carte menu of courses,the distance education portfolio includes 21 fully online degree programs and 275 fully online unique courses.In fiscal year 2010,MSU-Billings' online programs produced 29,997 student credit hours,the most in the Montana Univer- sity System. I 1 The strength and reach of the distance education program at MSU-Billings also I provides for important system collaborations.Those include engineering with MSU- i Bozeman;health informatics with Montana Tech of the University of Montana;and surgical technology with the University of Montana's College of Technology. I Outreach As part of its public service and with the assistance of federal funding, MSU-Billings has built programs to address needs of underserved populations: • The Pathways to Self-Sufficiency program at the Montana Women's Prison has pro- vided about 70 women with academic and workforce training in an effort to reduce recidivism and increase overall educational attainment. 1 1 a The Garfield Community Outreach Center,providing free or inexpensive access to basic skills training on the city's South Side. j I 1 23 Montana State University-Northern MSU-Northern was founded in 1929 and has served Havre as an academic hub for the Hi-Line and north central Montana for more than 80 years.The town's dedication to j MSU-Northern and the campus'commitment to the Hi-Line has always been the founda- tion to every program offered. 1 Distance Education MSU-Northern has long been a pioneer in distance education.The lNorthNet system was one of the largest interactive television networks in the U.S.,which 1 reached 52 high schools across the state.These innovations and transition to the Internet i has made it possible for students to access a MSU-Northern education from home. Three Campuses MSU-Northern has campuses in Havre,Great Falls and Lewistown. These facilities make it possible for MSU-Northern to offer on-site instruction in practical [ programs like nursing,education and business. Transferability Most of MSU-Northern's programs have a two-year associate's degree that A l leads to a four-year bachelor's degree.This approach makes it possible for a student to start by getting the two-year associate's degree and enter the workforce sooner. It also gives its ! students the opportunity to go back to college at a future date and seamlessly finish their i bachelors degree.This approach to education makes MSU-Northern very unique and appealing.Out of the 22 bachelor degrees offered, 18 of them have a two-year assaciatc's degree option.The University also has many articulation agreements with other two-and `rr i four-year institutions to make it possible to continue education without starting over. j Innovative Programs MSU-Norchern's diesel program is in high demand because it is one I of only a handful of four-year diesel degrees in the country.This puts students in high demand for management positions in major companies like BNSF,General Electric,Cat- erpillar, Kiewit and Tractor&Equipment.Northern is also the hub for many state pro- grams like the Montana Motorcycle Safety program,Montana's Veteran Upward Bound, Montana Environmental Training Center and nine Educational Opportunity Center sites, f j Biodiesel Research MSU-Northcrn's Bio-Energy Center has a strong focus on biofuels and heavy duty diesel engines.This internationally recognized center is able to conduct j comprehensive studies on biofuels, from the seed to fuel processing,fuel testing,engine testing and real-time emissions monitoring. Recently, the center parrnered with Burling- ton Northern Santa Fe Railway(BNSF)to conduct a comprehensive test to utilize 20 ! percent biodicscl blend for fuel in a switcher engine.BNSF is the second largest diesel fuel i user in the United States and consumes 30 million gallons a year in Havre alone.This is a 1 year-long project that will demonstrate the performance of Biodiesel under adverse weather conditions in Montana. j Unmanned Aerial System(UAS)Testing MSU-Northern,MSU-Bozeman,Mississippi f j State University and Rocky Mountain College are exploring Elie possibility of conducting I research and testing on UAS's. MSU-Northern is located in the middle of a large,sparsely populated,military operations airspace(MOA) that is conducive to drone testing.Re- search possibilities include MSU-Northern examining aspects of biofucl use for the drones. The College of Engineering at MSU-Bozeman could potentially do research in design and engineering and the aviation program at Rocky Mountain College could handle the avia- tion simulations. 24 !� M011MA Scare UnIMS11y I ECOnOmIC Impact Report 2010 Cainpus Close-ups Montana State University-Great Falls MSU-Great Falls is a community asset—serving the educational and career goals of more j than 2,500 individual students.Partnerships with key employers in north central Mon- I tana ensure that student learning specifically meets workplace needs. 1 • MSU-Grear Falls celebrated a record number of graduates in 2010 as 301 degrees and certificates were earned by 278 students. j • The total number of high school students enrolled in college courses with MSU- Great Falls increased 15 percent in Fiscal Year(FY) 2010 over FY2009. • For its service to military students and families, the college was designated as a Mili- tary Friendly School for 2010 and ranked in the top 15 percent nationwide.Service to these students and others has resulted in a retention rate increase of 6 percent in 2009-10 and 16 percent since 2008. I Fiscal Stewardship Although it has some of the most expensive programming,spending at MSU-Great Falls is less per student than nearly all other institutions in Elie Montana Uni- versity System.The state funding received for each student in FY2010 was$4,731,repre- senting an annual savings to the state of Montana of$2,201 for each student who chooses i to begin college at MSU-Great Falls rather than a public four-year college in Montana. I • The total annual expenditure per student at MSU-Great Falls is approximately $2,000 less than the average for the Montana University System($7,924 compared to$10,134). I • Annual tuition at MSU-Great Falls averages$2,997 compared to$3,821 at Mon- I tangs four-year public colleges. Workforce Development Montana students earning a certificate or associate degree are 1 more likely to stay and work in Montana than those earning bachelor or master degrees. Workforce development statistics from the Office of the Commissioner of Higher Educa- tion,show that 82.5 percent of resident Associate of Applied Science graduates entered Montana's workforce within one year of graduation. • Students earning an associate degree in FY2009 earned an average salary of$29,098 j in FY2010. I i - MSU-Grear Falls offers 14 of the 19 healthcare occupations offered by colleges i within the Montana University System.The average salary of healthcare graduates, I regardless of degree level,was$39,400,35 percent higher than the average Montana i University System graduate. - Despite the recession,in-field job placement for graduates has remained strong with 76 percent of graduates reporting employment the fall after they graduate. 1 Of the FY2009 graduates, those in dental hygiene started at the highest pay rate with an average hourly salary of$27.89. Physical therapy assistants,practical nurses,radiology technicians,and respiratory care graduates earned a starting hourly of salary averaging I $18.28 to$20.67. In the past year,students achieved 100 percent pass rates on national I exam for respiratory care,dental hygiene,surgical technology,practical nurse,and physi- cal therapist assistant.
