The Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC), Trust Land Management Division (TLMD), Central Land Office (CLO) is currently reviewing two easement applications from Belgrade School District #44 and Central Valley Fire District who are applying for two separate but adjacent easements to construct and operate a school campus and a fire department on state-owned Trust Land to accommodate the community need to expand public education services and fire department services in Belgrade, MT. Belgrade School District #44 is seeking approval for the State of Montana to issue an easement to provide suitable property to Belgrade School District for campus expansion. This expansion is necessary based on current and expected community growth. The total acres to be encumbered by the easement is 60.00 acres of State Trust Land located in Gallatin County administered by the DNRC-Bozeman Unit, near Frank Road, southwest of Belgrade, MT. Please refer to the attached map. Central Valley Fire District is seeking approval for the State of Montana to issue an easement to Central Valley Fires District to provide suitable property to build and maintain a 24 hour per day career staffed fire station and associated infrastructure. This expansion is necessary based on current and expected community growth. The total acres to be encumbered by the easement is 3.00 acres immediately west of the proposed Belgrade School District easement and located on State Trust Land located in Gallatin County administered by the DNRC-Bozeman Unit, near Frank Road, southwest of Belgrade, MT.

Implementation of construction activities and the operation phases of the new school campus and fire department would consist of impactful actions that would result in the permanent transition from agricultural production to suburban development.
