County increased facility rental rates for Montana Expo Park

County Commissioners unanimously approved increased facility rental rates at Montana Expo Park.

Commissioners considered the increased rates during their Dec. 12 meeting.

About 200 people attended that meeting that included a resolution to remove election duties from the county clerk and recorder’s office.

No one spoke on the increased rental rates.

Susan Shannon, Expo Park manager, said earlier this month that rental rates have not changed since 2009.

She said the cost of utilities have increased and there have been facility improvements.
