Governor Gianforte Celebrates Opening of New Multi-Use Agricultural Facility in Montana
Governor Greg Gianforte, alongside the Montana Department of Agriculture, the Montana Department of Livestock, and Montana State University, celebrated the inauguration of the new Combined State Laboratories building in Bozeman. This multi-use agricultural facility integrates the Montana Department of Livestock’s Veterinary Diagnostic Lab, the Montana Department of Agriculture’s Analytical Lab, and the MSU Wool Lab. The project aims to bolster Montana's agricultural producers through enhanced research, education, outreach, testing, and diagnostic services. The new facility replaces outdated infrastructure, some of which relied on equipment over 70 years old, and is expected to significantly expand testing capacity, improve operational efficiency, and provide modern resources to better serve agricultural communities across the state.
