Local officials are working to assess the impact and explore alternatives.
In other news, Bozeman brewers are preparing for potential increases in aluminum can prices due to new tariffs. While the full effects are yet to be seen, some local breweries are considering stockpiling supplies or exploring alternative packaging options.

The Winter Farmers Market will be held at the Gallatin County Fairgrounds from 9 AM to noon on Saturday, offering fresh local produce and artisanal goods. For those interested in outdoor activities, the Run to the Pub event kicks off at 9:30 AM in downtown Bozeman, combining fitness with St. Patrick's Day festivities.
Art enthusiasts can catch the closing weekend of Harold Pinter's "Old Times" at the Blue Slipper Theatre in Livingston. Performances are scheduled for Friday and Saturday evenings.
