BUTTE — A new Murdoch's Ranch & Home Supply Distribution Center will be opening in the Montana Connections Business Development Park, along with others in the expanding park.
The new facility will be 70,000 to 80,000 square feet in size, situated on 21 acres of land.
According to Karen Byrnes, the Butte-Silver Bow Community Development Director, the new facility will bring prospects of jobs and new development for Butte.
"They are going to be creating at least thirteen jobs in our community in the warehouse itself and then there will be other related truck driving jobs." Byrnes said.
According to Byrnes, construction will start later this spring. Byrnes said that this is exciting for the community and the economic impact could be huge for Butte-Silver Bow.
"It is between a $7.5 and $8 million investment in our community. We’re very excited to see them recognizing the value of being located here, a logistical value for distribution for Butte-Silver Bow we believe is very strong and so we’re excited to see them capitalize on that and we are welcoming them to the community with open arms." Byrnes said.
