In terms of highly contentious New Bozeman Developments, The Real Estate developer and property owner/applicant (HomeBase) has made a new application for the demolition of an existing commercial building, and the construction of a mixed use building on .44 acres located at the southeast corner of South Black Avenue and East Olive Street. The site is presently developed and includes a two story commercial building that is proposed for demolition.
