The Montana Board of Regents approved a utility easement for the construction of a new fire station during its Tuesday meeting, BozemanDailyChronicle.com reported.

The regents approved a utility easement to Northwestern Energy for the construction of Bozeman Fire Station 2 near the intersection of Kagy Boulevard and Seventh Avenue. Construction is slated to start in spring 2023, the report said.

The easement lets the energy company provide electrical power to the fire station instead of relying on MSU utilities, according to the report. A lease between the city and MSU for the fire station land was previously approved.
