Tonight, Bozeman City Commissioners will consider creating the Cannery Annexation District to extend city water and sewer services to the growing commercial district.
Cannery District was given its name for the pea cannery that did business there in the early 1900’s. Developers are fast at work creating a new commercial hub in Bozeman, where restaurants, coffee shops and breweries have already opened up shop. Creating an annexation district will make these businesses water and sewer utilities through the City of Bozeman, rather than through other sources.
Locals will have seen the cannery building renovations that have taken place since March. Crews have been hard at work getting the building up to code. Tenants already include a barbershop, an architect, a physical therapy group and a marketing firm. The owners of the building are hoping to have a restaurant of some form to attract day-to-day visitors.
The developers’ plans calls for 15 buildings in total, costing roughly 15 million dollars. Owner’s will strip down old buildings and remodel to keep historic significance while making them environmentally efficient. They will build the other buildings to total the goal of fifteen.
The City of Bozeman wants to do a full annexation of the area, but by turning the district into an Annexation District, they can hook up the area to city water and sewer services without officially incorporating the area into Bozeman yet. Plans still remain to officially annex the district at some point in the future.
