Greeting Friends of the Steam Plant, We have an URGENT update and request of you (Before Sunday March 9th ) Last year we applied for the MT Historical Preservation Grant – We are currently sidelined in today’s Legislative process. Please take 5 minutes ( Please be a respectful MT Voter )– Simply send an email to your Legislator with this subject line: “Please Reconsider the Butte Steam Plant Event Center under HB-12 / HB-756” Your Legislator can be found Here: https://www.legmt.gov/legislators/ Please include a paragraph of a heartfelt personal memory (Family member work at HANSEN PACKING ?), or the logical reasoning of not losing a Butte TREASURE (It is part of the Timber Butte landscape). We were sidelined from House Bill 12; MT Historic Preservation Grant under different criterion than we had applied – WE FIT ALL THE NEW CRITERION. We do not expect the original asking amount because the budget just isn’t there – BUT minimally we must Preserve the Envelope; Chairman John Fitzpatrick said it best: “…protecting the building envelope; in other words, fix the roof, fix the exterior (east) wall(s) fix the foundation; (our foundation is flawless reinforced concrete poured down to solid granite on Timber Butte in 1928) fix the doors and windows, so that the structure is intact, so that it can be developed for some other future purpose but you’re saving the structure at the same time.” So Minimally we are asking to replace the 1)roof, 2)windows and 3)doors in that priority order. (Especially those Clarestory Windows on the Roof !! Who wants to go up there twice..? death-defying!) That will arrest the Freeze-thaw that is destroying the East Brick Wall (…a new brick dislocated this last below zero night because of frozen water expansion – Could have hit me in the head LOL ) Thank-YOU BUTTE AMERICA; Jason & Lita Christensen
