With your help, our Space2Place team plans to create a new placemaking project in downtown Billings, to beautify and activate a public space. We are excited to add a touch of our creativity to the fabric of downtown. Creating vibrant and inviting public places within our community is a passion of the Community Development Team at Big Sky Economic Development.

Communities with active, lively public spaces are vital to having a thriving community and attracting and retaining workforce talent. People can choose to live anywhere. Many factors play a role in this choice – parks, trails, and outdoor recreation; arts and culture; special interests; and even a community’s vibe. More than ever, people find their place, then start a business or find a job. We want Billings and Yellowstone County to be that place – where people want to live, work, play, and stay.

Please consider a contribution to BSED’s downtown Space2Place Project.
