Listen "Bozeman News Roundup: Vandalism, Resilience, and the Affordable Housing Push"
Episode Synopsis
Good morning, this is your Bozeman Local Frequency for Wednesday, September 3rd, 2025.It’s another classic late-summer day here in the Gallatin Valley, with forecast highs in the 80s and even tipping into the low 90s later this afternoon, so keep an eye out if you’re spending time outside. We’re also seeing more smoke rolling in—nothing unusual for this time of year, but it may make for some hazy skies until that cold front slides through tomorrow.Local headlines are making the rounds this morning, starting with some concern out of Belgrade where overnight vandalism has hit vehicles and homes yet again. In a more positive story of resilience, a woman at Hyalite Reservoir used pepper spray to fend off an attacker—reminding all of us to stay alert and look out for one another on the trails. In regional news, an Anaconda shooting suspect is set for another court appearance today, and the Owl Bar has reopened, bringing some nightlife back to the area.In Bozeman, housing reform continues to be front and center. Policymakers are pushing forward updates to the city's unified development code, aiming to clear the path for more affordable housing by allowing multiplex units on smaller urban lots and making it easier to build manufactured housing parks. These efforts make Bozeman a bit of a model for Montana’s quest to tackle the affordable housing crunch, so if you’ve noticed more construction or new apartment signs around town, now you know what’s driving it.Now, for all you event seekers—it’s a busy week. The Bozeman Public Library kicks off tonight with the “Watershed Moment” author panel at 5:30. Meanwhile, music lovers can catch Brice Ash & Kin live at Bridger Brewing starting at 5:30, or head over to Bacchus Pub for trivia night if you’re quick on the draw. Looking for something different? There’s also a free outdoor concert in the Eagle Mount Summer Series coming up tomorrow evening, so mark your calendars.Out in the community, the Bozeman Symphony is actively recruiting volunteers for the upcoming season. If you love music and want to give back, this is your chance to help keep the arts vibrant in our valley. And farmers markets are in full swing—there’s the Manhattan and Livingston Farmers Markets this afternoon, where you can pick up the freshest local produce and maybe even a treat or two.On the lighter side, Montana is buzzing with lottery fever after a Powerball ticket sold in our state nabbed a two million dollar win last night, just ahead of tonight’s whopping 1.3 billion dollar draw. Folks around town are dreaming of what they’d do if they struck it rich—maybe buy one of those big Bozeman ranches for sale we keep seeing online.Don’t forget, if you’re in the mood for a little local history, the Museum of the Rockies continues its History on Tap series, and next week brings the Fall Gallatin Watershed Cleanup. It’s a busy, vibrant September here; whether you’re getting involved or just soaking up the last warm evenings of the year, there’s something for everyone.This has been Bozeman Local Frequency.
