Big Sky EDC has updated its Federal EDA Revolving Loan Fund Plan tied to a $2,000,000 RLF award ($1.8 million federal, $200,000 match). The update expands the service area to six additional counties, adjusts fees and equity rules, and broadens eligible uses including blue-sky and debt refinance. This signals continued lending activity and demand for loan servicing tools, portfolio monitoring, and outreach support across a larger regional small-business finance program.
Pre-RFP
$2,000,000Jul 9, 2026The LB Lofts project is a 101-unit affordable housing development backed by $1,545,000 in City HOME/CDBG funds, $6,500,000 in LIHTC, and a new $7,000,000 Montana Department of Commerce loan. Developers HomeFront and Homeword are preparing for financial closing, site work, and have requested permission to use a competitive RFP process to select a general contractor under federal rules. Development agreements are being amended to remove City procurement provisions, with Council action scheduled July 13, 2026. This sets up an upcoming GC and trades competition plus potential needs for project management and compliance support.
Pre-RFP
$1,545,000Jul 6, 2026Billings and the MPO have completed a 21st Street Underpass Study outlining four improvement options from a $600k warning-system retrofit up to a $30M full bridge replacement with 13.5-foot clearance. Council is being briefed June 15, 2026 and will consider adoption June 22 before the MPO Policy Coordinating Committee acts in July. No option is chosen yet, but the study positions the project for CIP prioritization and future grant funding, creating a multi-year transportation capital opportunity.
Pre-RFP
$30,000,000Jun 15, 2026The City of Billings and the Yellowstone County Planning Board reviewed a planning-level study for improvements to the 21st Street Underpass, a key grade-separated rail crossing with clearance, drainage, safety, and pedestrian issues. Four alternatives were developed, from no-build to minor improvements with overheight warning to full bridge replacement and increased vertical clearance up to 13.5 feet. The study is for adoption into MPO plans and the City CIP and does not fund construction yet. This is a strong early signal for future design, engineering, and construction work once funding and a preferred alternative are set.
Pre-RFP
$30,000,000Jun 15, 2026The Laurel Urban Renewal Agency has awarded the LURA Sidewalk & Lighting Improvements construction contract to Knife River - Billings for $2,219,906.50, with Triple Tree Engineering providing expanded construction engineering and RPR services. Work is scheduled to start July 6, 2026, with substantial completion by December 1, 2026 and final payment readiness by January 1, 2027. This is a major downtown improvement project, and vendors should track follow-on needs for traffic control, materials, inspections, signage, and streetscape amenities during and after construction.
Contract Award
$2,219,906Jun 22, 2026BSED staff briefed the board on the EDA-funded Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) established in 2020 with a 2000000 grant, noting that program rules require the RLF plan to be updated every five years. The executive director indicated no major structural changes are expected beyond removing COVID-specific language, and that loan structure and processes should remain largely the same, with a revised plan to be brought to the board for approval once completed. This scheduled update nonetheless presents a moment to assess portfolio performance, underwriting standards, outreach strategies, and systems that support RLF operations. Financial services consultants, portfolio management software providers, and CDFI/RLF specialists may find an opening to propose analytics, policy tuning, or technology improvements that help BSED optimize the fund’s impact even if the high-level framework is stable.
Pre-RFP
$2,000,000May 14, 2026On June 11, 2026, the Big Sky EDC Board is asked to approve an SBA 504 loan request for ATBH Endeavors Inc. (Right Heart Assisted Living) in Billings Heights. The project refinances existing debt and funds construction of a second building, adding 16 beds to the current 8‑bed facility and expanding memory care services, with an estimated 8 new jobs created. The total SBA debenture is $1,424,000 on a 25‑year note, representing 35% of the total project cost, with Big Sky EDC/SBA in second lien position behind Bravera Bank. This indicates a sizable senior living construction and refinancing project already through the local loan committee and headed to SBA for final approval. While the core financing decision is effectively made, vendors in healthcare construction, architecture, senior‑care IT systems, staffing, clinical consulting, and operational management may find near‑term opportunities to support the owners with design, build, health‑tech, and workforce solutions tied to the new memory care building and expanded operations.
Contract Award
$1,424,000Jun 11, 2026The Laurel City Council approved Resolution R26-27 on June 9, 2026, awarding the Laurel Urban Renewal Agency Sidewalk and Lighting Improvements Project to Knife River-Billings after a competitive bid process with six responsive contractors. The project includes extensive demolition and reconstruction of sidewalks, curb and gutter, driveway aprons, alley concrete pavement, ADA ramps, stormwater structures and piping, landscaping islands, traffic control/signage, and installation of 56 new pedestrian light poles with underground conduit, handholes, and meter mains in the LURA area. Knife River-Billings was selected as the lowest qualified bidder at 2219906.50, with a recommended construction contingency bringing total authorized contract capacity up to 2500000. Construction is scheduled to start after a Notice to Proceed no earlier than July 6, 2026, with milestones on September 11, 2026, substantial completion by December 1, 2026, and final completion by January 1, 2027. This award identifies Knife River as the incumbent for streetscape and lighting work in the urban renewal district, creating follow-on opportunities for materials suppliers, traffic control, electrical equipment, landscaping, and future phases or adjacent downtown improvements.
Contract Award
$2,500,000Jun 9, 2026Shepherd High School is enrolled in the TMobile Friday Night Lights Sweepstakes, which could award either $2,000 or a million-dollar football stadium remodel. This signals interest in improving stadium facilities if funding becomes available. Facility planners, design firms, and athletic infrastructure vendors may want to monitor for a win or future capital planning around the stadium.
Grant Funding
$1,000,000Jul 20, 2026Billings Council approved awarding the Annafeld Park Improvements (6th & 7th Filings, SID 1430) contract to Knife River for $878,295. Work includes full development and construction of a new neighborhood park in the Annafeld Subdivision using SID bond assessments. The prime award is decided, but there is room for subs, site amenities, play equipment, irrigation, and future phases. Vendors in park construction, furnishings, safety surfacing, and maintenance services should target Knife River, PRPL, and McCall Development for follow-on needs.
