Episode Synopsis

Good morning, this is your Bozeman Local Frequency for Friday, June 27, 2025.Let’s start with a heads-up on city life. Today marks the implementation of new permit fees for certain projects in Bozeman. If you’re planning any renovations or business expansions, be sure your project is pre-screened and accepted for review by the end of business day to avoid the updated fees. City business doesn’t stop there—keep an eye out for public hearings coming soon on Bozeman’s annual operating budget and a resolution to levy assessments for SID778. Community members are invited to participate and let their voices be heard.On the streets, crews continue regular maintenance, so you may experience a few minor delays. Remember that school zone speed limits stay at 15 miles per hour all day, every day, so drive safe as you navigate the city. And a big shout-out goes to Bozeman Fire Paramedic Luke Szymanski and Medical Director Dr. Bret Birrer, who were recently honored by Montana’s Department of Public Health and Human Services for outstanding contributions to emergency medical care.If you’re looking for something fun tonight, you’re in luck. Country music fans can catch the second night of Jamey Johnson’s performance at the Old Saloon in Emigrant—just a short drive from Bozeman. It’s a great summer outing in the Gallatin Valley and the show is expected to draw a lively crowd. Meanwhile, the Bozeman Public Library is keeping kids and families engaged this summer with their Learning Program. Not only does it offer educational activities, but they’re also providing free meals for local youth, so it’s well worth a visit.On the news front, we’re seeing a continued reduction in unauthorized public camping around town since the city put new regulations in place late last year. Bozeman’s efforts to keep public spaces accessible for everyone seem to be having a positive impact. For travelers, Alaska Airlines has announced its seasonal daily service from Bozeman to Boise, starting up again this fall through next spring, keeping travel options flexible. Meanwhile, Jet Blue is reportedly exploring potential changes to its flight offerings from Bozeman, so keep an eye on airline schedules if you have trips planned.Sports fans can look ahead to July when ESPN’s SportsCenter will broadcast live from the Big Sky Country State Fair.
