a thriving uptown butte

As the guiding document for all decisions in Uptown Butte, the Uptown Butte Master Plan was created in 2022 with input from a wide array of outreach techniques and community wide involvement. The Uptown Butte Master Plan’s vision helps guide Uptown growth and investment in the areas of urban design, transportation, infrastructure, arts & culture, economic development, historic preservation, parks & open space, sustainability, and inclusiveness. 

Additionally, the Uptown BID will assist in capital investment and implementation of the Butte Wayfinding Plan, mobility, and more.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

The BID’s Business Development plans to create a program in partnership with the Butte Local Development Corporation, URA, and BSB Community Development. The BID tracks investment and business activity in the district, connects new businesses to Uptown locations, and acquires and maintains current and relevant data for investment and decision making. 

Objectives:

  1. Focus on retention of businesses in the Uptown district and more meaningful engagement on issues Uptown businesses need help with.

  2. Focus on data acquisition and distribution in the areas of economic impact, new investment, housing, and retail to help understand overall investments, value of Uptown Butte, and gaps in goods and services.

  3. Focus on continued implementation of the new Uptown Master Plan and its subset plans.

  4. Advocate for infrastructure upgrades needed to support a healthy business environment in Uptown.
