BOZEMAN, Mont. – Bozeman continued its tradition of recognizing new and revitalized buildings, public art and “acts of neighborliness” with the annual beautification awards.
The Norm Asbjornson Hall on Montana State University’s campus was awarded for “sustainable style.” A house in northeast Bozeman called the “MT Nest Residence” was awarded in the “this is home” category. The temporary fairy garden installed along the Gallagator Trail was recognized for “sparking joy and spreading whimsy.”
Terry Quatraro, chair of the Bozeman Beautification Advisory Board, said the awards were established as an incentive for people to “do the right thing,” like encouraging residents and developers to keep the community in mind when remodeling or constructing buildings.
