Big Timber Awarded a $1.25 million Pilot Community Tourism Grant from the Montana Department of Commerce

The Crazy Mountain Collective (CMC), a collaboration between non-profit organizations, businesses and city and county governments in Big Timber, were recently awarded one of seven of the State's Pilot Community Tourism Grants. The $1.25 million will be used for several projects including developing a tourism plan as a component of economic development.

Other projects include work on Sheepherder Square, the Big Timber Trails Network, wayfinding and downtown improvements, the Crazy Mountain Museum expansion and fairground improvements. The Collective also plans to develop marketing plans to support these projects and expand their agritourism offerings. 

The funding will be awarded over the next 60 months and managed by CMC. Congratulations on the hard work it took to apply for the grant. We look forward to the continued vitality of Big Timber!
