Episode Synopsis

Good morning, this is your Bozeman Local Frequency for Tuesday, April 29, 2025. Spring has truly arrived in the Gallatin Valley, and with it comes a fresh wave of local happenings, community highlights, and plenty to do. Let’s start with some good news for our environment. This past weekend, Arbor Day volunteers planted 20 new trees at Oak Springs Park, helping to keep Bozeman green and vibrant for years to come. A big thank you to all who pitched in for the future of our parks.If you’re planning to clear out some clutter, Gallatin County is hosting a free e-waste recycling event at the Logan Landfill this Saturday. It’s a great opportunity to safely dispose of old electronics like computers, TVs, and phones, preventing harmful materials from ending up in our ecosystem. The event runs all day, so gather up your unwanted devices and do your part for sustainability.Turning to local governance, Gallatin County’s 2025 school and special district elections are underway. Ballots have been mailed out, and officials are urging residents to cast their votes early to help shape everything from school funding to public safety. On the legislative front, property taxes are on many minds as Senate Bill 542 moves through the statehouse. The proposed bill includes a one-time $400 payment to homeowners, but it could also bring long-term changes in how property values are assessed. Local leaders are watching closely as the bill awaits the governor’s signature.Downtown, you might notice construction activity at the Professional Building on East Olive Street. Crews started elevator upgrades this week, which are expected to take about six weeks. If you frequent the area, allow a little extra time and watch for posted detours.For those looking for live entertainment, the Ellen Theatre is hosting the Columbia River Canoe Project—a unique show tracing a river adventure from Butte all the way to the Pacific. And if trivia is your thing, The Clubhouse Lounge holds its Trivia Night every Wednesday at six, so gather your smartest friends and test your knowledge.Lastly, in local sports news, Montana State’s Spirit Squad has announced its 2025-2026 team, and Bozeman is cheering them on as they prep for a brand new season. Congratulations are also in order for local athletes inducted into the Big Sky Conference Hall of Fame, a proud moment for our community.That wraps up today’s updates. With sunshine and highs in the upper 50s expected, it’s a perfect day to get outside and enjoy all Bozeman has to offer. This has been Bozeman Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
