BILLINGS â On Sunday, two downtown Billings residents partnered with local business owners and their friends to install a string of lights above businesses on the 100 block of North Broadway in downtown Billings.
Julie Seedhouse and Lauri Patterson both live downtown and had the idea for the lights that will stay up year-round. They seized an opportunity presented by Big Sky Economic Development in the form of a grant, which paid for a portion of the project.
âI think our biggest inspiration was that weâre both so passionate about Billings as a city and downtown Billings specifically. Both living here, we want to make downtown inviting and welcoming to everyone to come down and experience our beautiful downtown, Patterson said.
