| The Board of Directors have been meeting often during the past year to help with the planning for the rebuilding of our theater. We have met with the architects, builders and engineers. We have entered into contracts with A & E Architects of Billings & Missoula and have hired the services of Martel Construction from Bozeman as our general contractor. We are now entering the final design phase of the project and had a special meeting on March 24, 2008. We have posted the minutes of that meeting and the architects drawings of some of the phases of the construction. If you are interested in seeing those plans you can click here to see what we've been doing to get this project going! MINUTES |
